No. My township was founded a long time ago when Indianapolis was a small town down the road. Then it grew and we were stranded inside the city. It was a piece of land in a loop in the river and a canal closing it in, with one small bridge over the canal to get in and out. It was mostly fishing cabins, plus a brothel. Some of the cabins were owned by politicians or other important people so they arranged for it to keep its separate status.If nothing happens, will all 578 towns become part of Indianapolis?
The other townships will either be incorporated into a nearby regular town, or be the responsibility of the county. Either way someone else will be responsible for the cost of running them. They tend to be very efficient with their budgets so it will cost someone a lot to take them over. That's our trump card at the moment. Lots of ...... off calls to politicians telling them to fix the mess.
The original part of my house was a fishing cabin, that's now just a bathroom and a bedroom. I redid all the walls and ceilings 25 years ago. In the original section the walls were paneled. I pulled off the panels and there was drywall underneath. It was the first type of drywall ever sold. 3 feet by 18" pieces. They were thick and lumpy in the middle and tapered down towards the edges. And the cedar siding outside was nailed directly to the studs with no backing under it. I replaced the drywall and the siding.
