HOME FOR INCURABLES

PROPERTY FOE DUNEDIN A well-known properly in Higligate, Roslyn, known as “Romanoff.” is to become, through the generosity of the late Archibald Hill Jack and the late Mrs. K. M. Hill Jack, a home for incurable ami crippled children, writes a Dunedin correspondent. The late Mr. Hill Jack and his wife were, desirous that their property should be used after the death of the survivor of them as a home for incurable children, and under the will of Mrs. Jack, who survived her husband, the property has been left in trust in the hope that some arrangements will be mad? for carrying out their wishes. Kituated among pleasant surroundings m the heart of Roslyn, the property consists of six ijuni'ler-acre sections on which there is a large wooden residence. It has frontages to Higligate and to two other streets- and is a very valuable property. In order to carry out suggested arrangements, it is proposed that the new building which was to have been erected for the Children’s Rest, Home in Kenmure road, Mornington, should now be built on the “Romanoff” property, and that in order to comply with the wishes of the donors a separate ward c-r building should be erected for incurable children sufficient in the meantime to accommodate 16 such children.
