In order that none may complain of want
of notice, attention is called particularly TO
the following.
Art. 6, Sec. 2, ConS:itution.-Stock hold
ers in arrears for fines or dues TO the Asso-
CATION, or for assessments upon their stock,
shall, after three months, he deprived If the
privileges OF membership.
Resolution adopted May LIST, 1858:
Resolced, That the Librarian be instruct
ed TO deprive all members and subscribers
in arrears of the privilege of the Library
and reading rooms until such arrears are
fully satisfied, and that he make out list OF
delinquentS, with the law in relation thereto,
and post the same in the Library and read
ing room.
BYLAWS, SIC. IL, lamcnded). Stock
holders or subscribers, for the detention OF
books beyond the limited time, shall forfeit
and pay TO the Librarian, for the use Of the
Association, ten cents per week, during the
time any book shall be so detained. Pro-
rided. That all books not returned TO the
Library within one month after the the linl-
tied time, shall be considered lost, and the
delinquent, in addition to his fines, shall
pay the valne assessed upon said books by
the Librarian, and any two directors unless
he returns them in rs good order IA when
taken, aud pay for the detention of the same
according TO the rates herein fixed.
Provision ia also made for cases where
books are returned damaged or defaced,
which it would be well for borrowers to ac-
quaint themselves with, as neither the con-
stitution, bylaws, nor any act of the Board
of Directors, leaves the Librarian any lati-
tude or power to grant dispensations in the
premises.
There is one other point that should be
mentioned, and il is this That subscribing
for single share Of stock does not secuae
| the privilege of the rooms TO q half dozen
families, or even to one family. And al
| though an individual should take twenty
shares of the stock of the Association, yet
if he pays but one annnul capitation tax
but one person is admitted to the benefits Of
the institution, under that subscription, un
less the others, or some person for them
pay each the required annual capitatior
tax; and, even in that case, there should bt
a regular transfer of share of the stock
to the person so to be admitted, for tho
length of time such person is to enjoy the
privileges of the rooals. This is the law o
the institution, and it is right; bat if any
feel aggrieved by i;Sheir remedy should b,
in change of the rule, rather than n vio
lation of il.
The following is an extract from a by.
law in relation to visitors
RULE 5. Any stakeholder, or subscriber
in good standing, has the privilege of in
PRODUCING one or more friends, not resident
Of Pigeon Tocnship, into the rooms of tn
Association, who shall enjoy the privilege
of the Reading Room for he term of iel
days.
In enforcing the rules OF the institution
the Librarian wishes 10 avoid, as far as pos
sible, giving offence to any, and hence h
has given an intimation thus publicly
as mild language as he could commando
the abuses to be corrected. Experience ha
taught us that multiplied annOyances result
from a lax administration, and chat tn
prosperity OF the organization depends main
. ly upon n strict adherence To the regulation.
, Mr.. Rathbone has determined, il il
within the scope OF his power. TO have
complete copy Of "Nile,' National Regis
, ter, added to the Library. OF the value {
: this work, as work Of reference, nothfh
need be said. Complete copies are extreme
~ rare, and as reliable political history
, our country, il il invaluable The amour
, necessary to purchase the Register, d,
. quite moderate compared with it, impoi
I lance and the advantage of having sue
! work immediately accessible. 70 .s.
2 II is earnestly hoped that tue officers an
directors viii receive from the co,nmunit
that encouragement which iher untirin
T !abora 10 give the Library Association
