The plans wore made known by members of tho Weber stake presidency pres-idency and their discussion was an important part of tho session. The meeting was largely attended and, in addition to business matters, an address by President W. P. Mon-son Mon-son of the Eastern states mission of the Mormon church made tho meeting meet-ing one that will be remembered for some -time to como. President Mon-son Mon-son was formerly a member of tho Fifth ward and succeeded the late Ben E. Rich In his present position. His address was mainly on the topic of the day, but he also alluded to the work being done In the eastern states mission, in an interesting way. Another An-other pleasing feature of the meeting was the rendition of a solo by George Manning. .In addition to tho stako presidency and the ward officials, several members mem-bers of the high council were present at the meeting and assisted in tho discussion of the plan to form a new ward. This plan, as announced, is to make Monroe avenue south of Twenty-fourth street, the dividing line, with the portion of the old Fifth ward west of the line to retain It6 present name and the portion east of the line, to be called the Twelfth, ward. It Is probable also that the portion of the old Fifth ward, west of Monroe avenue, to the brow of the hill, which was included in the Ninth ward when that ward was organized, will be taken tak-en back Into the Fifth ward. The people living In that district will be consulted in the matter, howevor, before a definite decision is reached. It is probable also that the portion of the Ninth ward east of the brow of the hill, will be taken from that ward and Included within the boundaries bound-aries of the new Twelfth ward. Next Sunday at 5:30 p. m., a meeting meet-ing of priesthood in the district designated desig-nated as the new Twelfth ward, will bo held In the Fifth ward meeting houso for the purpose of receiving instructions from the stake officials and at 7 p. m. all the church members mem-bers in tho same district will meet for the purpose of organization.
