HOME AT AUCKLAND

DADLEY ESTATE REQUIREMENT. WORK FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. In connection with the statement made by Mr. C. J. B. Norwood, Wellington, in which he expressed, a hope that the national fund for crippled children might receive a further sum of approximately £lOO,OOO from the estate of the late Mr. H. S. Dadley, Auckland, inquiries made from the Public Trustee, who is administering the estate, have elicited the information that under the terms of Mr. Dadley’s will the estate must be applied to the establishment and maintenance of a home for crippled children at Auckland. Mrs. Dadley, who is advisory trustee in the estate, had expressed her pleasure that the cause which her late husband had so much at heart, and for which he had already made some provision, had now also appealed to the generosity of other citizens. There was no reason, the Public Trustee said, why there should not be friendly co-oper-ation between the two schemes, but having regard to the terms of the will it was impossible that the ’ funds in the estate could be made part of the national fund now being raised. By the terms of the will the estate funds must be used for a home for crippled children at Auckland.
