[Apostle John Henry Smith Diary] ... We passed upon some minor items and then decided to put an Iron roof on the Temple and to let A. Howe have the job. ... President Woodruff called for the report of the committee on a new system to run church affairs and also said he thought it was about time to organize the first Presidency. L. Snow spoke in favor. G. Q. Cannon was in favor. B. Young was mixed. Bro. Thatcher started to speak but we adjourned before we got through.
