Subsidies to Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 28th October, 1902.

NOTICE is hereby given that the sum of £3,000 has
been voted by Parliament for distribution to public
libraries.

The distribution will take place on the 9th February,
1903, 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, 1903.

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 member-
ship 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 from subscriptions and
donations 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.

In the division of the vote a nominal addition of £25 will
be made to the amount of the income of each library derived
from subscriptions, donations, and rates, and the vote will
be divided according to the amounts thus augmented; but
no library will receive credit for a larger income than £75—
that is, in no case will the augmented amount on which dis-
tribution is based exceed £100.

The whole of the subsidy must be expended in the pur-
chase of books for the library.

Application to share in the distribution must be by
means of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or Secre-
tary, or Treasurer of the institution on behalf of which it
is made, and must be accompanied by a statement of the
receipts and expenditure of the institution for the year
ending on the 31st day of December, 1902; and such
declaration must be on the form provided for the purpose,
which form shall be as follows:—

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 on the 31st day of December, 1902, the receipts of
the aforesaid institution for the maintenance of the library
only were as follows: From rates levied by a local governing
body under “The Public Libraries Act, 1869,” pounds
shillings and pence; from the subscriptions
of members, pounds shillings and
pence; and from voluntary contributions other than mem-
bers’ subscriptions, pounds shillings and
pence. And I do solemnly and sincerely declare
that the information hereinafter furnished by me in the
appendix hereto is correct in every particular; that the
abstract of accounts is a true statement of the receipts and
expenditure of the institution for the year herein specified;
that the whole of the subsidy received during the year was
expended in the purchase of books for the library; and that
by the rules of the library it 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.”
(Signature.)
Declared at , this day of , 190 .

cable. The words in brackets are not part of the form, but

the Secretary for Education, Wellington, and from the
