Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 20th September, 1883.

NOTICE is hereby given that the sum of £6,000 has
been voted by Parliament for distribution to public
libraries.

The distribution will take place on the 31st January, 1884,
and no claim will be considered that shall not have been sent
in in due form and received by the Secretary for Education,
Wellington, before the 22nd January, 1884.

Every public library maintained by rates will be entitled
to share in the distribution according to its income from
rates; and every library maintained by subscriptions and
voluntary contributions will be entitled to share according to
its income from subscriptions and voluntary contributions:
Provided in either case that the income for the year has not
been less than £2; and that admission to the library, if within
a borough, is open to the public free of charge.

The income of each library may be stated either for the
year ending 31st December, 1883, or for the year ending with
that day in the year 1883 on which the annual accounts of
the library were made up.

The distribution will not be in proportion to the several
incomes of the libraries; but a nominal addition of £25 will
be made to the amount of each income, and the vote of
£6,000 will be divided in proportion to the amounts as thus
augmented, but so as that no institution shall receive more
than £50, and that no payment shall be made in respect of
income derived from endowments or grants from Borough or
County Councils, or of moneys received for building purposes
and not simply for the library itself.

Application to share in the distribution must be made in
the form of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or
Secretary, or Treasurer of the institution on behalf of which
it is made; and such declaration shall be in the following
form:-

DECLARATION.

I [Name], of [Place of abode], [Occupation], do solemnly
and sincerely declare that I am Chairman [or Secretary, or
Treasurer] of the [Name of institution]; that during the year
ending the day of , 1883, the income of the
aforesaid institution for the purposes of a library only was as
follows: From rates levied by a local governing body under
"The Public Libraries Act, 1869," pounds
shillings and
pence; and from the subscriptions of
members, pounds
shillings and
pence; and from voluntary contributions other than mem-
bers' subscriptions, pounds
shillings and
pence; and that the attached statement is a true
copy of the audited statement of the accounts of the insti-
tution for the year herein specified; and that by the rules of
the institution admission to the reading-room is open to the
public free of charge.

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously be-
lieving the same to be true, and by virtue of an Act of the
General Assembly of New Zealand intituled "The Justices
of the Peace Act, 1882."

Wellington, or to the Secretary of any Education Board.
