Subsidies to Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 14th October, 1912.

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 3rd February,
1913, 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 25th
January, 1913.

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 mem-
   bership 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 Govern-
   ment, 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
   Secretary, 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, 1912; 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, 1912, the
