Subsidies to Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 12th November, 1906.
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 6th February,
1907, 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 28th
January, 1907.

1. 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.
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, 1906; 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, 1906, 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," or "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1900," pounds
shillings and pence; from the subscriptions of
members, pounds shillings and
pence; and from voluntary contributions other than mem-
bbers' 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."
