regarded as voluntary contributions. A subsidy will not be
given to more than one library in the same town.
2. 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 distribution is based exceed £100.
3. The whole of the subsidy must be expended without
delay in the purchase of books for the library.
4. 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, 1904; and such
declaration must be on the form provided for the purpose,
which form shall be as follows:—
