WHEREAS, The Woman's Club of Dyersburg, Tennessee, is now, and has been, attempting to promote, maintain and support a Public Library in Dyer County, said Public Library being managed under the auspices of the said Club and said Library being considered a public benefit to the said County; and

WHEREAS, The County Court of said County has seen fit to make appropriations to the said Woman's Club for use in its Library fund, but has now discontinued said appropriations only on the ground that there might not be proper legal authority for making said appropriation; and

WHEREAS, The said County court of the said County, at its regular January Term, 1929, passed the following resolution;
