Y MIR. Ross, from the committee on the Hare
Charity Fund, reported as follows: 'I ...
The committee on the Hare Charity
Fund, to whom was referred the petition
of the Managers and Trustees OF the In
dustrial School Association and citizens OF
Columbus, have had the same under con-
sideration, and beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report: ..y, 80.
The committee are of opinion that the
lady managers and trustees of the Column
bus Industrial School Association, by their
efforts, have relieved the suffering, advanc-
ed the interest, and made glad the hearts
of great numbers of the poor and unfortU-
nate OF the city-and should the City
Council donate TO them portion of the
yearly income of the Hare Charity Fund,
It would enable them to further extend
their usefuness-and we would recommend
that the sum of five hundred dollars per
year be donated out of the yearly means of
the Hare Charity Fund, to the Managers
and Trustees of said Industrial School AS
ISOLATION tor the succeeding five years.
And your committee will also state that
there Is another Institution within our city
1.-THE st. Francis HospitaD having claims for
our consideration-and we would re ON
mend that the sum of five hundred dollars
per year for five years, be donated out OF
the income of the said Hare Charity Fund
to said Hospital.
There is still another and third Institu-
tion which not only asks for part, but
laws claim to all of said Hare Charity Fund,
by the introduction of an ordinance by the
senior member of the Second Ward. Said
ordinance provides for turning over all of
said Hare Charity Fund to the Orphans
Home of Columbus. Your committee think
chat such proceeding would not be in
accordance with the meaning OF the
donor, Jacob Hare, when he says in
his will, that when the state of the funds
will admit of it. the City Council may erect
suitable building, or editice, to be called
the Orphans Home, or Beneficial Asylum.
And again he says in his will, that the
fund-"the Hare Charity Fund''-shall be
forever under the control of the City
Council, to be by them expended tor the
benefit of the poor and unfortunate of the
city of Columbus.
1t will be remembered that the city, by
compromise, holds only one-half OF the
property donated by the will of said Jacob
Hare, the income from the ground rents,
interest on bonds and stocks, amounting to
about only S1,350 per year-the income
being so small that the objects OF the donor,
we think, would best harmonic by the
City Council donating out of said Fund
$500 per year, for the succeeding five years,
to each Of the three Institutions heretofore
named, to-wit: The Orphans Home, St
Francis Hospital, and the Industrial School
Association of the city of Columbus.
In making such distribution of said
Charity Fund, your committee are clearly
of opinion that more good would be ex-
tended to the poor and unfortunate
throughout the city, than by giving the
whole amount to one Institution.
In conclusion, your committee would re-
mark, that they would not be doing justice
to themselves, their constituents, and above
ALL to the poor and unfortunate of the city,
should they withhold their opinions as
herein set forth.
