Strong Resolutions.

The resolutions are in part as follows
Whereas. In the judgment Of this
board the excuse offered for these pay
ments violates every sound principle of
business morality and would Justify the
Illegal diversion of public and private
trust funds OF every description. and,
Whereas. The penal code provides in
substance that any officer. director trus-
tee or manager of a corporation who in
tentionally apprOpriaJes or causes TO be
appropriated any of its funds to his own
use or to that of any other person than
the true owner or person entitled tC the
benefit thereof, steals such property and
is guilty of larceny; and,
Whereas. This board believes that the
interests OF the community demand that
this misrepresentation, if a crime, should
be visited with adequate punishment; that
law should be enforced irrespective of
the station of the offender, and that
nothing would be more operative as
