Old Town of Broad Ripple Meeting Minutes #73
posted: Feb. 23, 2007

The Town of Broad Ripple was incorporated in 1894, and started holding regular meetings at that time. In each issue, I will print my transcription of the old Town of Broad Ripple meeting minutes. These are taken from the original, hand-written minutes that contain many spelling errors. I have transcribed all the records as they were entered, including errors. I will make some corrections to the text in brackets [ ]. The original minutes books are at the Indiana State Archives at 6440 E. 30th St.

Here is the seventy-third installment:

The word left out above is shown here. We can't imagine what it might be. It looks like a C and then about 10 m's. Maybe you can figure it out. Maybe it is Communication, really badly misspelled?
