And, whereas, notice of intention
to submit the question of reviver of
said charter and all amendments
thereto to this regular annual meet
ing of the stockholders was duly
given 10 days prior to this meeting;
And, whereas, it appears to be
the unanimous opinion of the stock
holders of said corporation that it
should revive its charter with all
amendments thereto, the corporation
being solvent and enjoying a satis
factory business and there being no
desire to discontinue business.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
stockholders of Jackson Ice Corpora
tion, in annual meeting, this Jan
uary 10, 1940, that the charter to
gether with all amendments thereto
of Jackson Ice Corporation be reviv
ed and that the president of the
corporation be empowered, instruct
ed, directed and authorized to pro
ceed immediately in the name of
Jackson Ice Corporation to revive
said charter and amendments in com
pliance with law and the statue per
taining to the reviver of charters
and he is authorized to take such
steps in so doing as the law re
quires.
On motion of R. P. Sasnett, a

ed by all those present, they con
stituting a majority of the stock
holders of the corporation.
