of the Church from the office of the Presiding Bishop. The letter was recorded in the Morgan Stake minutes as follows: Regarding the Naming of Wards 1st. Before organizing or dividing a ward, please conferwith the Presiding Bishops Office to ascertain whether the name desired is already in use. It is not a good policy to have more than one ward with the same name. 2nd. Wherever practicable the name of the post office and name of the ward should be the same unless, as quoted above, it has already been given to another ward in some part of the Church. 3rd. Namesof one word only should be given to wards; avoiding the use of the terms north, south, east, west, first and second, as far as possible. The general suitability of the name should be carefully considered. 4th. The name of the incorporated ward should not be changed, nor should the ward be disorganized until the subject has been referred to the Presiding Bishop's Office. This is desired in order to avoid legal complications.21 The Morgan Opera House acquired by the stake was originally constructed by the People's Opera House Company in 1906. The building was owned and operated by a private corporation. It had two stories. The lower story was used as a theater while the upper floor was used primarily for dancing. Basketball games in the county were also played there before the high school was finally constructed. Nearly all the stake activities during the Heiner era took place in this building. Just when the stake negotiated for the building is not clear. President Heiner reminded the leaders of the stake on 4 March 1911 that there was still $6,000 owed on the Opera House. He explained that the Church had offered to pay $3,000 providing the other $3,000 could be raised by the people of Morgan. Three months later the subject again was brought up before the priesthood leaders by President Heiner who encouraged the raising of the necessary funds so the Church could own the building.22 Finally in 1924 the building was deeded to the Church. A fifty-one percent interest in the building was deeded to the Morgan Stake and forty-nine percent was deeded to the Morgan Ward.23 At a stake presidency and high council meeting heldSunday, 23 November 1913 the matter of effecting a ward organization at Devils Slide was discussed. It was finally decided to have the stake president raise the issue with the visiting brethren at the next stake conference.
