The Indian Creek Township board learned last night that there are no records to be found documenting any lease or deed for the property by the ball field that the township has been using for many years. Effectively, the township has been squatting on the land. The owner, Mrs. Bond does not wish to sell the property but would like to have a lease with the township for the use of it. A special township meeting to discuss the matter is set for Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. at the Township building on S. Division Street. The public is invited. [Read more...]
