libraries and place such control in the hands of the State

made to defeat this or any bill or resolution which would
centralize control of local public libraries in the office of

cities of the State of California be alerted to the damage of
such proposed legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk of the
City of National City is hereby authorized and directed to
