HOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Manager is hereby authorized and instructed to write these accounts totaling $944*41 off of the books, provided, however, that nothing contained shall be construed to relieve any party indebted to the District of any existing obligation for payment of said debt.

He also felt a title insurance policy would be necessary. Following a brief discussion, the Directors referred the matter to Attorney McNamee so that he could handle the details necessary to expedite purchase of the system.
