The Orphan Home, Parnell, Auckland. APPEAL. The disastrous fires that occurred at the Orphan Homo, I'arnell, 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 extant of the loss, its effect upon the present condition of the children, and 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 In time been cared for in the Home, which has, therefore, a particular as well as a -general claim upon your sympathies. I.—THE LOSS. Thu two Main Dormitories are absolutely destroyed, that is, the sleeping accommodation of over 70 children. Jn addition, the Matron's Quarters, Staff IHuingroom, Sewing room, Sea/nslnss' Bedroom turd 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 mc/e words. 2.—NEW nriLDIXUS. The matter of providing New Buildings has been receiving the careful consideration oC the Hoard, as appears by the last two annual reports, -and a New Buildings Fund lias been created. In providing permanent accommodation, the safety of the children is a consideration of paramount importance. and this can only he secured in Buildings of Stono or Brick.

.-TIIE COST. Of such Buildings on morion) lines is roughly estimated at from £SOOO id £7OIO, in addition to which it may be necessary to purchase laml. 4.-TIIE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Hoard's Endowments is fully absorbed in maintaining tho 89 children in the Home. The numbers have increased since rilst March, 1905, by 28, and for the current year, owing to such increase, the Hoard anticipates a debit balance 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 hamj)er the work of the Home, and prejudice the well-being of the children. The New Building Fund Account now stands at £lllO. The insurance on the Building destroyed is £12.")0. Amount available is £2300. Kough cstimato of amount still required for Building is £-1010 The Home has not received any Uovernment subsidy for the last twenty years. It has be<»n already stated thai the Honrri hail bngun to form a Building Fund. Had it proved necessary te make a Public Appeal, in the future, for that fund, the amount asked for would have buen comparitively small NOW THEHFj JS NO AT/PERNA-
