SOCIETY FOR DISTRIBUTJ/sIGI SOUP TO THE

POOR
AT a General MEETING-of the COMMITTEE,- eld
at the Parish Office, Fenwick-street, on THURSDAY,
91th December, 1840,
The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair,:
•
the Secretary, Mr. William Corner, reported, that, .daring
the last year, the East Sotip Kitchen, in Gill-street, -Brown-
low-bill, had been erected at an expense for Land and Build-
ing of £l,OOO ; that the South Soup Kitchen, built on land
granted by the Town Council, in -Flint-street, New Bird-
street, had also been completed at the expense of £6OO • that
the old Soup Kitchen, in Pick Op-street, being in so dilapi-
dated a state as to render it insecure for use another season,
had been pulled down and rebuilt at an expense of £460 ;
and that, in consequence of these expenditures, and the
relief granted to the poor during the last three winters, the
amount subscribed by the public, in January, 1838, had not
only been entirely absorbed, but that the Society were, at
this time, in debt the sum of £B2O, including a sum of
£223 2s. 6d. due from the Strangers' Friend Society for soup
tickets sold and not yet paid for. It was also stated, that
the three soup kitchens would, in a few days, be in such a
state of efficiency as to supply, if necessarr, 2,000 gallons
each, or 21,000 quarts, of a'good, wholesome food every day.
In consequence of the above statements, and from the re-
presentations of the committees of several charitable institu-
tions, as well as from the report of the Secretary to the
Select Vestry as to the present distressing state of the poor
and working classes, and relying on the well-known and ex-
perienced good feeling of the Liverpool public for meeting
any such exigency with their accustomed liberality,

It was resolved,-Ist. That each of the Soup Kitchens be
opened as early as possible.
2d. That Books of Subscriptions should be immediately
opened at each of the Public Newsrooms, Banks, and News-
paper Offices, for the purpose of liquidating the Debt and
procuring Funds for the immediate distribution of Soup.

3d. TiVat each Member of the Committee be furnished
with a book by the Secretary, for the purpose of private ap-
plication for Subscriptions ; and that Messrs. C. H. Jones,
John Cropper, Octavius Waterhouse, and William Comer 1.
be requested to wait upon some of the well-known friends
of the Society to Subscribe, in the first instance, and that
their List, with the above Resolutions, be printed once is
each of the Liverpool Papers for the next three weeks.
Resolved,—That Mr. Octavius Waterhouse be requested
to continue as Treasurer, and Mr. Chris. Hird Jones and
Mr. William Comer as Secretaries of this Society.
