A meeting of Mormon apostles was
held at Salt Lake City, Sept f. Daniel
H. Wells and Jno. W. Young, counsel
lors to Brigham Young, were present to
take steps for the future management of
the Mormon church. 1t was arranged
that the quorum of apostles, as next in
order to the President, assume control
of the church. This arrangement was
satisfactory to the Mormons present, and
will be so to them all it is thought. John
Taylor, the first of the apostles, is virtu-
ally the head of the Mormon church. A
committee was appointed to manage the
financial affairs until October 6, when
the semi-annual church conference will
be held, and the trustee elected. All of
Brigham's wives and children, it is stat
ed, are mentioned and handsomely pro-
vlded for in his will. He also gives con-
siderable property to schools. The will
seems to be satisfactory to the heirs, and
there will probably be nc contest.

King stated further that he had never m sde

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.


Will the Tax Hill be Ready by the First
Of January.
Among the several important subjects that are
occupying the city administration. that Of the col
lection Of the taxes next year 10 foremost. The
question is, will the tax bills be ready for col
lection by the first OF January next. We had
conversation on the subject yesterday with Ad-
ministrator Rengstorn, who expressed himself to
the effect that he could not see hsw the feat was
to be accomplished, nc understanding all the
efforts that he personally, together with the
Board of Assessors, could do to expedite their
part OF the duty, which consists in having the
assessment rolls delivered 40 soon a. possible to
the tax bill clerks.
On Monday next Mr.. Rengstorf proposes to
place the rolls In the hands Of the bookbinder.
and TO make such alterations On will be decided
upon by the experts In cases Of arbitration on
the rolls when returned TO him In book form.
Since 1t has been decided by the courts that
the assessments shall DO open to arbitration
until the 18th day OF November, he will not
be able to turn tho books over TO the
tax bill clerks before the 18th. which
will give them only little over six weeks
to complete their task, which usually requires
from two to three months to perform. 1t may
be, nevertheless, that by employing an increased
number Of clerks, and by working night and day,
the work can be done within tho required time,
and II we are not mistaken in the spirit Of the
administration this will be done rather than that
any delay shall occur.

Administrator Edwards submitted yesterday to
the Mayor estimates for the repairs absolutely
needed to the engine house Of Vigllant Fire Com
pany No. 8, at the corner VI Bayou road and Dor
genois street, amounting to $274, which the
Mayor agreed was q fair price, and ordered the
repairs to be made. The work will probably BIS
intrusted to Mr.. John Page, who has proved him
self on several occasions to be conscientious
and accommodating contractor.
Mr.. Edwards also suggested to the Mayor the
necessity Of providing the engine house with u
new bell tower, the present ons being In dan
r. rous condition. The cost for q new tower II Ia
estimated would be $500. The Mayor, however,
asked that the existing one should be examined
again carefully, ~ In his op mon 1t might be pos
sIble to repair it, thereby economizing consid-
cradle sum TO the city.
