Education Department,
Wellington, 4th November, 1885.
NOTICE is hereby given that the sum of £4,000 has
been voted by Parliament for distribution to public
libraries.
The distribution will take place on the 8th February, 1886,
and no claim will be entitled to consideration that shall not
have been sent in in due form and received by the Secretary
for Education, Wellington, on or before the 31st January,
1886.
A library to be entitled to a subsidy must be public in the
sense of belonging to the public, and of not being under the
control of an association, society, or club, whose membership is composed of a section of the community only, and if
within a borough it must be open to the public free of charge.
The receipts for the year must not have been less than £2,
exclusive of moneys received from endowments, or from
Government, or from Borough or County Councils, or for
special building purposes, or as rent, hire, or consideration
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:-
