Madeline Henriette Girard ct al. vs. The City
Of Philadelphia. This is case brought before
of washington, on an appeal from a decision
In one of the suits brought by the heirs OF Ste
he o. to the %
Grard. The result In VidaPs suit against
SepoS deeSs9 IN that at he s9as
under the will for the college and other
charitable objects were valid. but the heirs
now contend that the bequests for municipal
purposes are incapable of execution in
The will provides that the remainder of the
residue of the testators personal estate shall be
invested as a permanent fund.- the income of
which shall be applied first to the further inn
provement and maintenance OF the College for
Orphans; second, to enable the city OF Phlla.
third, to improve the city property and the
general appearance of the city, and to diminish
bear 1t. The heirs contend that Girards wishes
extended only to the improvement of the old
city-viz: the two square miles from South to
Vine and from the Delaware TO the schuyI6iii,
ss IL existed at the date of his will, and not TO
the consolidated municipality of 1870 square
miles created by the act of the Legislature of
1854.
AS the execution of the trust is, as alleged,
impracticable for the Improvement of the con
solidated city, it is asserted that the fund re-
yerts TO the hetrs. 1t is claimed that the income
derived from the estate beyond the wants of the
Girard College amounts to $4,000, and the
heirs insist that this sum shall be ratably dis.
tributed annually among the heirs.
The case has been taken up on appeal from
decree of Judge Grier dismissing the bill in
equity filled by the heirs in the United States
Circuit Court. In the opinion delivered Judge
Grier says that the effect of the Consolidation
act is not that which the bill alleges and even
IL IL were, the consequences assumed to flow
from 1t are not legitimate. The objects of
Girards charity remain the same while the
city, large or small, exists. Whatever the fears
of the complainants may be as to the moral
ability of the corporation, there is no necessary
inability which prohibits IL from administering
the charity as faithfully ss 1t could before its
increase. If the trust be not rightly ad-
ministered, the courts will compel
proper execution upon the complaint
of the sovereign power, the Legislature, or Of
the benefciaries. Now there is no complaint
that the charity is not properly administered.
and 1t does not appear that there now is, or
ever will be, any residue TO apply to the second
ary object (the prosperity of the city, etc.) II
that time should ever arrive, the question
whether the charity shall be so applied as to
bave the "effeet to diminish the burden of taxa.
tion" on all the corporation, or only those
within the former boundaries of the city, will
have to be decided. In the meantime the heirs
at law of the testator have no concern in the
matter, or any right to interfere by bill in
equity.
half of the appellants is still in progress.
