The Orphan Home, Parncll, Auckland. APPEAL. The disastrous fire that occurred at tho Orphan Home, Parncll, Auckland on Sunday, September 17, will b fresh in the minds of the readers o this paper. This appeal is intended to make plain tho extent of the loss, its ctiect upon tho present condition of tho children, and the urgent necessity for Funds to provide adequately ail wisely for their futuro welfare.

Children from the districts wlior this paper circulates have from tim to time lien cared for in the Home which has, therefore, a particular a well as a general claim upon you (sympathies. . I.—THE LOSS. Thu two Main Dormitories are ah Rolutely destroyed, that is, the sleep-, Ing accommodation of over 70 children. In addition, the Matron's Quarters, Staff IHningroora, Sewlrg room, Seamstress' Bedroom nnd Hoo* pital are totally destroyed, and, b. sides this, a considerable quantity 01 Clothing and Furniture has been lost What tiu« means to the children an to tho matron and her stall can hardly be conveyed by mei e words. 2.—NEW BUILDINGS. The matter <;[ providing New Build Ings has lis-en receiving the carefu consideration of the Board, as ap pears by the last two annunl re ports, nnd a New Buildings Fun lias been created. In providing permanent acconunod ation, the safety of the children is consideration of paramount import ance. and this can only be secured i Buildings of Stone or Brick.

B.—THIS COST. Of such Buildings on modern lines i roughly estimated at from £SOOO t £7OOO, in addition to which it nia lie necessary to purchase land. 4.—THE FINANCIAL POSITION. Tho income from the Board's En downients is fully absorbed in main taining the 8 l .) children in the Home The numbers have ircreased si .J Hist March, 1"85, by 28, and for th current year, owing to such increase th« Board anticipates a debit balanc of expenditure over receipts. Thi will, of course, be increased by the expenses inevitably attendant upon tho fire. ..To take any considerable sum from tho Capital for building purposes would very seriously hamp er the work of the Home, and preju dice tho well-being of the children.

The Now Building Fund Accoun now stands at £lllO. The insurance on the Building dos troyed is £12.">0. Amount available is £2300. Rough estimate of amount still required for Building is £4640 The Home has not received any Government subsidy for the last twenty years. It has been already stated that th Hoard had begun to form n BuiUlin Fund. Had it proved necessary t niako a I'ublic Appeii l , in the future tor that fund, the amount nsl;ed fo would have been comparitivoly small NOW TIJISKB IS NO AI.TKKNA NATIVK: TIIK API'KAI.
