The Orphan Home, Panned, Auckland. APPEAL. The disastrous lire Htat occurred at Iho Orphan Home, Parnell, Auckland, on Sunday, September 17, will be fresh in the minds of the readers of this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain the extent of the loss, its effect upon the present condition of the children, and the urgent necessity for Fumls to provide adequately and wisely for their future welfare. Children from the districts where this paper circulates have from time U> time been cared for in the Homo, which has, therefore, a particular as well as a general claim upon your sympathies. 1.-TIIK LOSS. The two Main Dormitories are absolutely tlestroyed, that is, the bleeping accommodation of over 7<> children. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, Staff IHningrooin, Sewing room, Seamstress' Bedroom ami Hospital are totally destroyed, and, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing and Furniture has been lost. What this means to the children and to the matron and her stall can hardly be conveyed by nie/e words. 2.—NEW IJi;lL[)lX(iS. The matter of providing New Buildings has l»ven receiving the careful consideration of the Hoard, as appears by the last two annual reports. <ind a New Buildings Fund has been created. In providing permanent accommodation. the safely of the children is a consideration of paramount importance. and this can only be secured ia Buildings of Stone or Brick. 3.—THE COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines is roughly estimated at from £,IOOO U £7OOO, in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase land. i.-tijl; financial position. The income from the Hoard's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining the 89 children in the Home. The numbers have increased since Hist March, 1005, by 28, and for Ihu current year, owing to such increase, the Board anticipates a debit balanco of expenditure over receipts. This will, of course, be increased by the expenses inevitably attendant upon the lire. ..To take any considerable sum from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamper the work, of the Howe, ami prejudice Ihu well-being of the children.
