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 :—

Mechanics’ Institutes Act, 1908, or the Municipal Cor-
porations Act, 1908, pounds shillings and
pence; from the subscriptions of members,
pounds shillings and pence; and
from voluntary contributions other than members’ sub-
scriptions, pounds shillings and
pence; that the library is public in the sense of belong-
ing to the public, and is not under the control of an
association, society, or club whose membership is com-
posed of a section of the community only; that the in-
formation 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 ex-
penditure of the institution for the year herein specified;

lieving the same to be true, and by virtue of the Justices
of the Peace Act, 1908.
