The Speaker of Congress, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, opened the session by stating the importance of preparedness for effective governance, comparing it to a craftsman organizing his tools before starting work. Emphasizing the significance of careful planning and execution, he highlighted how the Union's Houses of Congress have been diligent in their efforts to establish a well-crafted governing structure.

The charitable works were at the forefront as a Latvian bishop praised the recent approval of a hospital's foundation and sought similar favor for another institution under his purview in need of financial support. Representative Ignacy Zakrzewski from West Poland expressed concerns about the growing financial struggles of a Warsaw hospital, asking for tax relief as the hospital's debts had increased significantly over the years.

The hospital in question has seen its population grow from less than 100 to over 300 in recent years, and despite support from The President, it has accrued significant debt, inspiring a call for its exemption from public taxes, similar to precedents in Lithuania-Belarus. The Senate's involvement in verifying the hospital's dire situation was requested, which Senator Franciszek Prażmowski could attest to due to his prior involvement in its inspection.

Debates around the fairness of local taxes transpired, with concern over the heavy burden on property owners and the distressing impact on citizens. Suggestions to adjust the tax system to alleviate the hardship of the less fortunate were proposed, with a view to spreading the financial responsibility more equitably.

Moral charitable obligations also took center stage, as Representative Aleksander Zieliński praised the virtuous acts of Prince Bishop Krzysztof Szembek for his contributions to society, particularly emphasizing the importance of education for young girls in his proposal to finance a hospital amidst discussions of various charitable projects being put forward by other members.

As the proceedings continued, numerous proposals regarding hospitals, educational funds for religious orders, and tax exemptions for charitable institutions were read and debated. Each initiative sought the consensus of Congress, and upon their introductions, the noble purpose and economic ramifications of each were scrupulously considered.

One notable case was the application of the Public Education Commission's funds. Representative Kazimierz Rzewuski voiced opposition to the exemption of one hospital from a payment obligation, concerned about the potential adverse effects on the financial resources of the Commission. This highlighted the necessity of balancing charity with economic stewardship.

The possibilities of relocating a bishop's residence and approving funds for a seminary showcased the ongoing dialogue between religious duties and administrative responsibilities. Arguments were made about the importance of ensuring religious officials had the necessary resources to fulfill their obligations while maintaining order within the Union's territories.

As the session drew to a close, the Ministry was called upon to adjourn until the following day and to inform The President of the day's deliberations, marking the end of another industrious day in the history of the Union's Congress.
