This institution (which has no political objects)
affords a channel for those who sympathize with
railway servants through which to help them
in the time of need, and the extent of its sphere
of usefulness depends in a gi-eat measure upon
public support. It has been established to provide
for the necessitous members, orphans, children, and
â– widows of the railway officers and servants in the
United Kingdom. Its object is to clothe, maintain,
and educate orphan children, and to grant relief by
annuities and money allowances to members who,
from old age, disease, or accident, may be unable any
longer to obtain a livelihood, and to the widows of
those who may be left in distressed circumstances.
Railway officers subscribe 10s. 6d. per annum, rail-
way servants 8s. per annum, to constitute them mem-
bers, or they may subscribe 2s. per annum to the
orphanage only. One moiety of the funds contributed
by the public is apportioned between an officers' de-
partment and a servants' department in proportion to
the amount the members severally subscribe; the other
moiety of the donations is applicable to a special ben-
evolent fund for relieving distress amongst officers or
servants, whether members of the institution or not,
and the widows and orphans of men killed in the per-
formance of their duty. The sum set apart for the
orphans of officers is appropriated to their mainten-
ance and education in private establishments selected
ty their friends and approved by the board of man-
agement. Should the funds be insufficient to provide
pensions or school benefits for all qualified apphcants,
there is an election by ballot, and the election of an-
nuitants and orphans is vested in the subscribers, who
have also the privilege of recommending cases for gra-
tuities out of the special benevolent fund. In dispens-
ing relief the rules of the institution provide that "the
most necessitous must at all times be first relieved."
Donations and subscriptions. — -A donation of £105
in one sum, or in payments of not less than £10 10s.
each, constitutes the donor a patron or patroness for
life, with the privilege of fifteen votes. A donation of
£52 10s. in one sum, or in payments of not less than
£10 10s. each, constitutes the donor a vice-president
for life, with the privilege of six votes. A donation of
£10 10s. constitutes the donor a life subscriber, with
the privilege of one vote. A yearly payment of £1 Is,
(or in quarterly or half-yearly instalments) constitutes
a subscriber, with the privilege of two votes. An an-
nual subscription of 10s. 6d. constitutes a subscriber,
with one vote. Any three donors or subscribers may
also recommend applicants qualified for relief from the
special benevolent fund.
Appeal. — The Scotch committee of management re-
spectfully and earnestly appeal for aid to the share-
holders of railways individually, as specially interested
in those upon whom devolve the executive duties in
their railway establishments, and to the benevolent of
all classes, who are either directly or indirectly bene-
fited by the services of a numerous, well-disciplined,
and laborious class of public servants. Donations and
subscriptions will be gratefully received and duly ac-
knowledged by the secretary for Scotland, Robert
Gibb, Caledonian Railway^ 302 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow.
