Owing 10 the depleted condition OF
It's finances, II Is a question whether
the Hilo Library and Reading Room
Association can exist much longer. The
library is essentially subscription lib
rary, depending upon its patrons and
the public for its maintenance. Fines
and subscriptions for the use of books
do not meet the running expenses OF
the Library. The expenses annually
amount to about $500 and the sub
scriptions for books averages not more
than $500, leaving deficit of $500 to
be raised from other sources. From
$500 to $500 is needed for the purchase
OF new books, and 500 for magazines
and periodicals. Treasurer l.. Sever.
Rnce finds he cannot meet these expend
ttures from the Library funds, which
have now run very low.
