And, further, I have seen the original minutes of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of said body corporate held on the 7th day of February, 1908, and have compared the copy of the Resolutions set forth in the annexed certificate of George E. Crothers as Secretary of said body corporate, with the original on the books of said body corporate and that it is a true and correct transcript from the same.
