With the President’s arrival at the Senate, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, the Speaker of the Polish-Ukrainian Confederation began the session by requesting that a decision be made in response to the inquiries previously made by the State Commissions.

It was reported to the Houses that His Excellency Kozłowski, the Abbot of Trzemeszno, along with the entire monastery and the City of Trzemeszno, have renounced their entitlement to a certain kind of tax relief for the public good without seeking any compensatory return. It was requested that this exemption should be recorded into the law books to be available in times of need.

Mr. Jan Łuszczewski, the Congress Secretary, read out the Military Commission’s inquiries, which covered multiple points. Resolutions were made on some of these points, namely: the Military Commission should assign funds for the December payroll for all temporarily established officers who are actively serving, as well as for those engaged in postal duties. It was also declared that every infantry regiment should have eight companies, while the Polish-Ukrainian artillery should have fourteen companies, and Lithuania-Belarus seven. Regarding war veterans, it was instructed that a registry of these veterans should be presented first, followed by a determination of the funds to be allocated for them.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, the Speaker of the Lithuania-Belarus Confederation, informed the Houses that the State of Lithuania-Belarus declared its willingness to increase its treasury revenue by adopting the same taxes paid in Poland-Ukraine, and would abolish any taxes that are not levied in Poland-Ukraine. A draft proposal regarding this plan was read and taken into consideration.

The session was adjourned to resume on the following Monday, December 14th, at 10 a.m.
