[Hosea Stout Diary] Sunday Decr 10th 1848.
Tolerable warm but snowed hard in the after noon. At home untill evening & went to the latter part of the Council
It was decided to reduce the price of beef to 2 cents pr pound on foot and sell it out at 3 and 3 pr pound. This was not to be a law but all present agreed to do it themselves & use their influence to have others do so too. Signing a petition for a Terl Govt was also circulating. Also passed a law granting a bounty of one dollar each on wolf skins and for J. M. Grant to recieve them.
