The Orphan Home, Papnell, Auckland. APPEAL enwivrn • The disastrous lire that occurred at thu Orphan Home, I'ainell, Auckland, on Sunday, September .17. will be fresh in the minds of the readers of this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain th« extent of the loss, its effect upon the present condition of thu children, and the urgent necessity for Funds to provide adequately and wisely for their future welfare." Children from the districts where this papei' circulates have from time Jo lime been eared for in the Home, which has, therefore, a particular as well as. a general claim upon your sympathies. J.-TJ-IK LOSS. The two Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 7U children. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, Stall IHningroom, Sewing room, Seamstress' Bedroom and Hospital are totally 'destroyed, and, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing ami Furniture has been lost. What this means to the children and to the matron and her stall can hardly be conveyed by mere words. 2.—NEW BUILDINGS. The matter of providing New Buildings lias liven receiving the careful consideration of the Hoard, as appears by the last two annual reports, -and a New Buildings Fund has been created. In providing permanent, accommodation,, the safety of the children is a| consideration of paramount importance, and this can only be secured in Buildings of Stonu or Brick. Of such Buildings on modern lines is roughly estimated at from JE'iOOO U j £7OOO, in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase land. 4.-TIIK FINANCIAL POSITION. i Tho income from the Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining tho 89 children in the Home. The numbers have increased since HJst March, 1!)0.j, by 2S, and for the current year, owing to such increase, thu Hoard anticipates a debit balanco of expenditure over receipts. This will, of course, be increased by the expenses inevitably attendant upon the fire. ..To take uny considerable sum from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamper thu work, of the Home, and prejudice the well-being of the children.

now stands at JtlliO. The Insuranco on the Building destroyed is £-1250. Amount available is £2360. Rough estimate of-amount still l-cquired for Building is £4040 The Home has not received any Government subsidy for the last. twenty years. It has been already slated (hat the Hoard had brigim to fovm a Building Fund.
