Old Town of Broad Ripple Meeting Minutes #157
posted: May 01, 2015

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 one-hundred fifty-seventh installment:
From 1903, still more voters petition against the ordinance for the traction company. Maybe you will see a relative's name here!

And the clerk also presented another petition, which is as follows
To the Board of Trustees of the Town of Broad Ripple
The undersigned, voters of said town, approving your course in granting a franchise to the Indiana Northern Traction Company, petition your honorable body not to submit such franchise to the vote of the voters of said town for their rejection or approval
