Presidents Lorenzo Snow, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith were at the office, and the former two met with Elders Brigham Young [Jr.] and John Henry Smith, Bishop Joseph S. Rawlins and Attorney F[ranklin]. S. Richards, the subject of conversation being the canal business mentioned yesterday. The idea was to get Bishop Rawlins to take the initiative in arranging a meeting of representatives of the five canal companies, with a view to their uniting in action against Lambson, and preventing him from obtaining rights for power use on the Jordan river. A meeting with the directors of the companies is to be held at this office tomorrow, and Bishop Rawlins is to be present.
The allowance to Elder Samuel W. Richards, of $30.00 a month, for services as an ordinance worker in the Temple was today increased, at his request, by President Snow to $50.00 a month, $20.00 in cash and the balance in scrip. (1)
