The proposition to erect this building was referred to a committee consisting of Pres[iden]t. Lyman, George Albert Smith and David O. McKay. ... A lengthy communication read from the Presidencies of the three Ogden [Utah] Stakes, giving a brief history of the erection of the Thomas D. D.

On motion of Bro[ther].

Lyman, George Albert Smith and David O. McKay, with the Presiding Bishopric added, who are to investigate and report with recommendations later. ...
