II.—Distribution of the Public Libraries Subsidies according to Education Districts.
[Note.—lf the vote had been distributed in strict proportion to the incomes of the several libraries the five following named institutions, instead of receiving only £50 each, would have been entitled to the sums placed after their names respectively : Auckland Free Library, £117 9s. 7d. ; Christehurch Public Library, £88 9s. lid. : Oamaru Athcsnseum, £69 13s. 5d.; Timaru Mechanics' Institute, £58 17s. 7d.; and Napier Athenaeum and Mechanics' Institute, £57 15s. sd. The additional amount (£142 ss. 7d.) that these five institutions would have received but for the limitation of the maximum subsidy to £50 had the effect of slightly increasing the sums that the smaller libraries would otherwise have received. The increase of the amount in the case of a library showing an income of £5 was ss. Id.; of £10, about 6s. ; of £20, about 7s. Bd.; of £30, about 9s. 5d.; of £40, about 11s. Id.; and of £50, about 12s. 9d.]
