At a meeting of the members appointed by the Respective Parishes of Bristol, Martins brandon and Bath as a Committee to Consider of the best and most proper method for Building a Poors House at the Joint Expence of the said Parishes-
It is the opinion of this Committee that a Convenient House ought to be Rented for Entertaining the poor of the said Parishes, if to be had, But if not, that then Land ought to be bought & Convenient Houses to be built for the joint use of the said Parishes in proportion to the number of Tith- ables in each of the said Parishes. This Committee having taken under their most serious Consideration the unhappy and indeed miserable Circumstances of the many poor Orphans and other poor Children, Inhabitants of the said Parishes whose parents are utterly unable to give them any Education and being desirous to render the said House as Beneficial as pos- sable & that such poor Children should be brought up in a Religious, Virtuous & Industrious Course of Life so as to be- come usefull members of the Community, Have Resolved earn- estly to recommend it to their Respective Vestries that they should join in a Petition to the General Assembly to procure an Act to enable the said Parishes to erect a FREE SCHOOL for Educating the poor Children of the said Parishes in Reading, Writing and Arithmetic at the joint Expence of the said Par-

It is the opinion of this Committee that Four of the Members of each of the said Vestries ought to be appointed as a Commit- tee to Petition the General Assembly in the name and on behalf of the said Vestries in Order to obtain such Act as aforesaid And also to put the said resolutions into Execution.
[147] It is the opinion of this Committee that these Resolu- tions be Communicated to the respective Vestries as soon as possable for approbation or Descent.
