Fourth—The said library is now subject to the inspection of the Regents of the University of the State of New York, registered by them, maintaining a proper standard, and that the said Regents have execute l a "Certificate of Approved Circulation," which is hereto attached, showing that the circulation of books according to which your Ilonorahlc Board is entitled to appropriate money under the Laws of 1892, chapter 378, paragraph 37, is 65,000 volumes, and that the appropriation which can be made under the said law cannot exceed ten cents per volume, an aggregate sum of six thousand five hundred dollars, and that by an amendment made to this law by the last Legislature, the Board is allowed to make this appropriation of money in the City of New York.

Fifth—That said corporation is in great need of such apportionment and allotment for the reason that their additional work is badly crippled by lack of funds ; that the demand for books is ever increasing ; that the employment of salaried librarians is necessary to meet demands, the librarians heretofore having served vratuitously and frequently at considerable inconvenience.

Wherefore your petitioner prays your Honorable Board may make to the corporation the full allotment which unrter the law of the State of New York it is authorized and empowered to make.
