[Hosea Stout Diary] Thursday Nov 26th 1846. The fore part of today was yet so cold and disagreeable that I did not attempt to work[.] But in the after noon I done some work at daubing my hous which made it a little more comfortable
In the evening after arrainging the guard I went to the council meeting again at H. S. Eldridges. The Bishops made their reports which was not accepted but returned with instructions[.] They not dividing the city properely as they divided some blocks whereas each Block should be included in the same Ward unless it would make two Wards. They had part of three Blocks in one Ward which would be hard to understand in history.
Four of the men who had been nominated for Bishops were then ordained to that office under the hands of President B. Young & R. Cahoon. Their names were Ephraim Badger, Luman H. Calkins, Willard Snow[.] Isaac Clark and Thomas Lang
After the above was attended to President Young requested of the Council that those Councillors who belonged to the Quorum of Seventies might be released as they had other business to attend to which was granted
The names of those belonging to the Seventies were J. M. Grant, A. P. Rockwood[.] B. L. Clapp and Samuel Russell. The three former were then released and Henry G. Sherwood, George W. Harris and Isaac Morley put in their place
Russell yet remained for further orders. There was also some charges brought against John Scott but did not amount to anything of importance. No more tonight
