The Franklin Fund is the proceeds of a bequest of one thousand pounds to “the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston in Massachusetts' made by Benjamin Franklin, in a codicil to his will dated June 23, 1780. The codicil provided that the fund “if accepted by the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston ’’ be managed under the direction of the Selectmen, united with the Minister of the oldest Episcopalian, Congregational, and Presbyterian Churches in that Town,” who were to make loans on certain conditions to “young married artificers under the age of twenty-five years.”

Dr. Franklin, who died April 17, 1790, calculated that, in one hundred years, the thousand pounds would grow to £131,000, “ of which,” he

says, “I would have the managers then lay out at their discretion £100,000 in Public Works which may be judged of most general utility to the Inhabitants. The remaining £31,000, I would have continued to be let out on interest for another hundred years. At the end of this second term, if no unfortunate accident has prevented the operation, the sum will be £4,061,000, of which I leave £1,061,000 to the Town of Boston, and £3,000,000 to the disposition of the Government of the State, not presuming to carry my views farther.” The Town accepted

the donation at a Town Meeting held June 1, 1790. -

A futile suit brought by the Franklin heirs in 1896 prevented the division of the fund at the expiration of one hundred years ; but on January 17, 1894, by direction of the three Ministers and the Board of Aldermen of the city, which board claimed to be the successors of the “Selectmen,” $329,300.48 (+% of the fund) was paid to the City Treasurer, for “the purchase of land and the erection thereon of the Franklin Trades School and for the equipment of the same.” Owing to a series of complications the money has remained in the custody of the Treasurer. Mayor Collins, in 1902, caused a petition of the City to be filed in the Supreme Court, praying for instructions as to the authority of the persons then acting as managers of the fund. The Court rendered an opinion November 25, 1903 (184 Mass. 373, page 43), to the effect that neither the Mayor nor the Aldermen were managers, but that the managers were the three Ministers together with nine others, including the Mayor, ea officio, whom the Court should appoint. The nine persons named above were appointed on March 16, 1904. On October 20, 1904, the balance of the fund was turned over to the City Treasurer, in accordance with a vote of the Board of Managers that that official for the time being should act as treasurer of the entire fund.

On January 31, 1905, the fund available for expenditure by the managers amounted to $412,401.12, and the residue, which, with its accumulations (will become available in 1991), to $157,647.90.
