teen dollars annually for the maintenance and educa
ton o. each orphan, which, for one thousand and
sixty-nine orphans in the eight above named Asyluns
which have complied with the provisions Of the
Ordinance amounts to $l4, 1865 per annunl.
There are other Asylums and Charitable Institutions
to the support Of which the city does not contribute
among them il the !" Home for Jewish Widows and
Orphans" on Jackson street. incorporated in March,

all the institutions Of its kind The Industrial School
OF the Sisters Of the Holy Cross in the Sd District,
which is supported mainly by the work of the in
mates. And the Firemen's Charitable Association,
an institution for the relief Of disabled Fireen and
the support of the widows and orphans of that most
useful class of our fellow.ctizens.
The appropriations by the State for Charities in
New Orleans for the year 1857 amount to $3l, 500.

The fees collected during that period from those
who were able to pay, and from owners of slaves,
amount only to $2l5 So while the actual expense for
maintenance salaries, ETC., amounts to 1856 46. 1t
will be observed from the foregoing; that the annual
expense for the support of this useful and necessary
establishment varies but little from $500 per an
mum. 1t is nevertheless, an institution worthy of the
most liberal consideration OF the Common Council,
providing as it does for the temporary relief of those
unfortunates who otherwise would be thrown upon
the cold charity of the world.
In connection with the subject of charity, it is pro-
per that should direct the attention of your honor
able body to the fact that the late John d. Fink,
old resident and valuable citizen of New Orleans,
who died during the past year, bequeathed the whole
of his estate, after the payment of his debts and
several egacies for the erection and maintenance in
this city, of an Asylum for Protestant Willows and
Orphans. r@&
The following clause is contained in his will:
I" 1t is my wish and desire, and do hereby declare
the same to be my will that after the payment of my
Just debts and the several legaces herein aboyemen
toned that the proceeds of the whole of my estate
property rights and credits, be applied to the cree
ton and maintenance and support, of suitable asy
lum in this city, to be used solely as an Asylum for
Protestant Widows and Orphans, to be called Fink
Asylum y and do hereby request and authorize
my friend Bulerdeick after my decease, to name and
appoint three worthy and responsible persons as
trustees, to carry out my said Intentions respecting
the aforesaid Asylum. s85
During the month of March, 1856, the hers,atlaw
of the testator instituted suit against the executor
praying that the above recited clause of the will be
declared null and void and that they, the heirs, be
put in possession ~
Upon this application the Supreme Court said that,
The charity created by the will was, in their opin-
ion legally to be administered only by the City Cor.

Prior to the adoption Of the plan Of selling the

constant source of expense and annoyance. The ad-

originated and through whom the plan OF farming

Live Oaks to be found, and traversed by the old
Bayou Metarie, now almost filed up. Although nm.

resort for population, and when improved, a. it
should be, it will be, without doubt most popular
resort for all that portion Of inhabitants who do not
leave the city during the summer months, as well as
for the citizens generally.

would be the construction of an ordinary picket
