The Orphan Home, Partial!, Auckland. appeal. The disastrous fire that occurred at tho Orphan llome, Pamell, Auckland, cm Sunday, September 17, will bo fresh in tho xuimls of the readers of this paper. This appeal is intended to maka plain tho extent of the loss, its Jeet upon the present condition of the children, und the urgent necessity for Funds to provide adequately and wisely for their future welfare. Children from the districts where this paper circulates have from time io (inie been cared for in thy Home, which has, therefore, a particular as well us a general claim upon your sympathies. I.—THE LOSS. The two Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the steeping accommodation oi over 70 children. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, SLnH Diningroont, Sowing room, Seamstress' Bedroom and Hospital are totally destroyed, and, besides this, a considerable quantity of Clothing ami Furniture lias been lost. What this means to the children aiwl to the matron aiwl her stall can hardly be conveyed by me/e wprds. 2,—NEW BUILDINGS. Tho matter of providing New Build* ings has been receiving the careful consideration of tho Board, as appears by tho last two annual reports, find a New Buildings Fund has been created. In providing permanent uccommod-" ation, tho safety of tho children is a consideration of paramount importance, and this can only be secured la Buildings of Stono or Brick, 3.—THE COST. Of such Buildings on modern linos la roughly estimated at from £SOOO ti £7OOO, in addition to which it may, be necessary to purchase land. 4.—THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Board's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining the 39 children in the Homo. Tho numbers have increased sines 31st March, 1905, by 28, and for tha current year, owing to such increase,' tho Board anticipates a debit balanco of expenditure over receipts. This will, of course,- be increased by the expenses inevitably attendant upon tho (ire. ..To take any considerable sum from the Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamper the work, of the Home, and prejudice tho well-being of the children. The New Building Fund Account now stands tit £lllO. The insuranco on the Building destroyed is £1250. Amount' available is £23fio. Hough estimate of amount still required for Building is £4640 The Home has not ree'eived any ('! overnineiit subsidy for the last twenty years. / It, lins been already stated that the Hoard had to form a Building fund. Had it proved necessary to mako a Public Appeal, in tho future, tor that, fund, the amount asked for would have been comparitively small.
