“That Brother O. L. Stillman’s request for a general meeting at his home be granted, to be held June 13 and 14.
“Much time was used in considering the question of the location of the intermediate school of which Brother Carr is to have charge, and it was finally referred to a sub-committee, with power to act, consisting of the following persons: S. H. Lane, H. W. Carr, A. O. Burrill, F. H. Hicks, O. F. Bowen, and H. D. Bowen.
“That the request of Elder Meleen for an assistant of his own nationality in caring for the tent, etc., be granted, and meetings begin as soon as the weather will permit in Jamestown, as providence may indicate.
