PART VIII.

169. If, in the opinion of the Board, a full compliance with any part of these by-laws, or any provision thereof, would needlessly injuriously affect the course and operation of business, or be attended with great loss and inconvenience to any person, without a corresponding benefit to the community, the Board may, on special application, waive the strict observance of any provision, or modify the same, provided that such other terms as they may impose be complied with by the applicant.

Subsidies to Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 18th November, 1913.

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 9th February, 1914, and no claim will be entitled to consideration that shall not have been sent in due form and received by the Secretary for Education, Wellington, on or before the 26th January, 1914.

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 membership 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. It is particularly enjoined upon the authorities in charge of the public libraries concerned that a due proportion of the books purchased shall be books having a permanent value; that is on books of more than merely passing interest.

5. Application to share in the distribution must be by means of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or
