for the use of any room, or building, or land belonging to the institution, in respect of none of which will subsidy be allowed. The net proceeds of concerts, lectures, or other entertainments on behalf of the current expenses of the library will be regarded as voluntary contributions. A subsidy will not be given to more than one library in the same town.

The income of each library may be stated either for the year ending the 31st December, 1885, or for the year ending with that day in the year 1885 on which the annual accounts of the library were made up.

A nominal addition of £25 will be made to the amount of each library’s receipts, and the vote of £4,000 will be divided in proportion to the amounts as thus augmented, but so as that no institution shall receive more than £50.

Application to share in the distribution must be by means of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or Secretary, or Treasurer of the institution on behalf of which it is made; such declaration shall be on the form provided for the purpose, and shall be as follows:—
