Discussion of the repealing of a resolution adopted by the Board at a meeting held
December 13th 1915- Copy of resolution adopted - Oct 13 - 1931.
Whereas - A resolution was adopted by the Clearwater Public Library Board at a
meeting held December 13th 1915 to the effect that the name of the Board was the
Carnegie Library Board and that the Clearwater Library had been donated to it.
