Abstracted from The New Albany Public Press Silver Grove Incorporation, The citizens of Silver Grove, for some time past were in doubt whether the town was legally incorporated or not. In order to settle the question satisfactorily the citizens appointed a committee to request Senator Gwin to write to the attorney general concerning the matter and the following is his answer: Indianapolis, Ind. April 9th, 1900 There was no law in 1886 that prohibited a town from being located within two miles of the city limits of an incorporated city. In fact in this city we have a town right in the city, with the city limits entirely surrounding it. I presume the impression got out from the fact that the police powers in cities extend, in some instances, four miles from the city; in other instances, two miles; but this does not affect the question involved in your letter. Very Truly yours, W. L. Taylor --from the Public Press 18 Apr 1900 p5 c2
