 Board of Estimate and Apportionment. 
 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 The following report (Part i) sets forth the financial and statistical results of an investigation 
 of the free circulating libraries of Greater New York City which has been made by the staff of 
 the Committee on Education of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment as a basis for an analysis 
 of the 19 1 7 Departmental Estimates. The function and work of the libraries together with a pro- 
 posed standardization of library service will be presented subsequently as Part 2 of the survey. 
 The purpose of Part i of the report is to present an analysis of the various funds and accotmts of 
 the New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Library systems 
 from the date of consohdation of the Greater City in 1898 to the close of 1915, together with de- 
 tailed statements of the cost of circulating books and schedules of properties used for library pur- 
 poses. This is the first attempt which has been made to bring together all the facts pertaining to 
 the resources and expenditures of the circulating libraries owned or partially supported by the 
 city. The tables appearing at the end of the report constitute a complete handbook of the funds 
 and accounts of the several public libraries exclusive of the central branch of the New York Public 
 Library at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street. 
 
 The trustees of the Astor library, Lenox library, and of the Tilden trust entered into an agree- 
 ment in 1895 to consohdate their property into what has since been known as the New York Public 
 Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foimdations. Provision was made in Section 623 of the Greater 
 New York Charter for erecting a building at Fifth Avenue between Fortieth and Forty-second 
 streets to be used by the New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, for a 
 free public library and reading room. An allowance is made in the annual budget of the city only 
 for the care of the building, the 1916 budget containing $39,400 for this purpose. 
 
 The New York Public Library building, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, contains the 
 main reference department of the New York Public Library, a central circtdating branch and a 
 children's room. The central building has a capacity of 3,000,000 volumes and cost the city 
 $9,616,305.73. It stands on land assessed for $12,500,000 which was transferred to the dty by 
 the Dongan and Montgomerie charters. The cost of the operation and maintenance of these ac- 
 tivities are met from the income of endowment funds held by the Trustees of the Library and 
 therefore the financial transactions affecting these activities are not covered in this report.

 '(.•".'.• ::.".' '-Cifst per 1,000 Circulation 
 
 The only unit of service which seems to be available for statistical purposes is the number 
 of books lent for home use or as it is generally called, the circulation. The cost of service rendered 
 has been worked out by funds from the data available and divided by the circulation. From 1899 
 to 1915, inclusive, the New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public 
 Libraries circulated 149,345,179 books at an average cost of $111.43 P^r 1,000 circulation, or ap- 
 proximately eleven cents per book, divided as follows: 
 
 Av. Cost per 
 
 1,000 books % of 
 
 Circulated Total 
 
 Appropriations and Special Revenue Bonds $93.94 84.3 
 
 Interest and Amortization Charges 8 . 44 7.5 
 
 Sub-Total $102.38 91 .8 
 
 Fines, State Apportionments, Miscellaneous Revenues and Endowment Funds 6.41 5.8 
 
 Loss to the City by reason of Exemption of Taxes 2.64 2.4 
 
 Total $111.43 100.0 
 
 From the foregoing analysis it appears that since consolidation the city has contributed 91.8 
 per cent, for operation, maintenance, interest and amortization, 2.4 per cent, for exemption of 
 taxes and the libraries 5.8 per cent, from cori^orate funds. 
 
 The property used for Carnegie branch libraries has cost $7,391,958.83, of which amoimt the 
 city paid approximately one-third for sites and books and Andrew Carnegie two-thirds for build- 
 ings, as shown by the following tabulation:

 Cost of Buildings provided by Andrew Carnegie 4,957,027 .60 67.1 
 
 Total, Sites, Books and Buildings $7,391,958.83 100.0 
 
 For the operation and maintenance of the three public library systems in New York 
 $1,383,328.50 is provided in the 1916 budget, as follows:

 for 1916 Total

BALANCE SHEET 
 
 In order to show the total value of the property which is owned by the city and used for public 
 library piirposes including the Central Library at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street as well 
 as the outstanding debt incurred on account of the libraries, a Balance Sheet has been set up as 
 of December 31, 1915. It will be noticed by referring to the accomjianying balance sheet that the 
 sites and bxoildings are valued at over thirty million dollars and the books owned by the city at 
 more than a million dollars. The gross funded debt which exceeds twelve million dollars is offset

 sists of property which was acquired by gift. The two largest items are the part of Bryant Park 
 on which the Central Building of the New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Founda- 
 tions stands and the branch libraries given by Andrew Carnegie. 
 
 Accotmt has not been taken of any depreciation on branch library buildings erected by Andrew

FORMER METHOD OF GRANTING APPROPRIATIONS TO 
 FREE CIRCULATING LIBRARIES 
 
 The growth of the system of public libraries in Greater New York is due to the great exten- 
 sion of the free public libraries which were started as private enterprises and later taken over by 
 the city. Formerly the city granted appropriations to free circulating libraries imder the pro- 
 visions of Chapter 378, Section 37, of the Laws of 1892. This law permitted the city to grant 
 money toward the support of libraries not owned by the public, but maintained for its welfare 
 and free use, provided such libraries were subject to the inspection of the Regents of the University 
 of the State of New York and registered by them as maintaining a certain standard. The Regents 
 were to certify as to the circulation, and the amount granted yearly to libraries on the basis of 
 circulation was not to exceed ten cents for each volume circulated. 
 
 The statement on page 13 contains the amounts granted to the several free circulating libraries 
 for the seven years prior to 1904. 
 
 THE BROOKLYN AND QUEENS BOROUGH PUBLIC LIBRARIES 
 
 The Brooklyn Public Library was established by resolution of the Brooklyn Common Council 
 in 1896 and consolidated with the Brooklyn Library imder Act of the Legislature in 1902. 
 
 The Queens Borough Public Library was incorporated in 1896 by the Regents of the Univer- 
 sity of the State of New York under the Laws of 1892, Chapter 378 as amended by Laws of 1895, 
 Chapter 859. 
 
 OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE GIFT 
 
 In the year 1901 Andrew Carnegie offered to furnish the funds required for the erection and 
 equipment of sixty-five free branch libraries for the circulation of books, provided the City of 
 New York would furnish the necessary sites and al.so provide for the maintenance of the libraries 
 when completed. The libraries were estimated to cost $5,200,000, being an average of $80,000 
 each. Subsequently the number of branches was increased to seventy-eight, with the understanding 
 that the total estimate should not be exceeded. The number of branches allotted to the different 
 library systems as finally agreed upon was as follows: 
 
 New York Public Library: 
 
 Manhattan, The Bronx and Richmond SO 
 
 Brooklyn PubUc Library 20 
 
 Queens Borough Public Library 8 
 
 Total ; 78 
 
 To permit the city to enter into such an agreement, a special Act was passed by the Legis- 
 lature (Chapter 580, Laws of 1901), entitled "An Act to authorize and empower the City of New 
 York to estabhsh and maintain a free pubhc Ubrary system." This act authorizes the city to 
 contract with Andrew Carnegie or his representatives for the erection and equipment of branch 
 libraries without cost to the city on such sites as the city might own or acquire for the purpose. 
 
 The City of New York entered into an agreement with the New York Pubhc Library', Astor, 
 Lenox and Tilden Foundations, and representatives of Andrew Carnegie for the erection of branch 
 hbraries in 1901, pursuant to the offer of Andrew Carnegie. 
 
 THE TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENTS WITH THE AGENTS OF ANDREW 
 CARNEGIE FOR THE ERECTION OF BRANCH LIBRARIES 
 
 The terms of the original agreements between the City of New York and the agents of Andrew 
 Carnegie were as follows: 
 
 A. The city was to acquire the sites by purchase or condemnation tmless those not required 
 for other ptuposes could be used, all sites to be subject to the approval of the agents of Andrew 
 Carnegie. 
 
 B. The agents were to proceed with the erection and equipment of branch library buildings 
 without cost to the city. 
 
 C. Upon completion the branch library buildings were to be devoted to the maintenance 
 of free branch circulating libraries and reading rooms.

D. The city agreed to provide not less than lo per cent, annually of the amount expended 
 by Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of maintaining the branch libraries. 
 
 E. In addition to maintenance the city agreed to provide for repairs to the buildings and 
 to furnish the necessary water. 
 
 F. It was stipulated in the original agreements that the agents of Andrew Carnegie or their 
 successors shoidd prescribe the rules and regulations governing branch libraries, including the 
 direction and management of the buildings, books, collections, and appurtenances. 
 
 G. The lending, delivery, and one or more reading rooms are required to be open every 
 week-day except Sunday, including all legal holidays from 9 a. M. to 9 p . m. On Sundays libraries 
 may be open as agreed upon. 
 
 H. The buildings and books are the property of the city. 
 
 I. Fines are to be retained by the libraries and applied to the business of circulation. 
 
 J. Upon the completion of the library btuldings in Manhattan, The Bronx and Richmond 
 the city was to grant the land and buildings to the New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and 
 Tilden Foundations to be used for free branch library purposes. 
 
 K. The Brooklyn Public Library was to exercise control over the branches erected in Brooklyn. 
 
 L. The Queens Borough Public Library was to be appointed the administrative agent for 
 the maintenance of the branches and the traveling libraries in Queens.

 tions, provides that the library shall make an annual report of transactions to the city by May ist 
 of each year for the year preceding. 
 
 P. Agreements can be cancelled or aimulled or from time to time modified by the parties 
 to the agreements. 
 
 ORIGINAL STOCK OF BOOKS 
 
 There was some doubt as to whether the original stock of books for the branch libraries to 
 be erected under the Carnegie Agreement were to be provided for by the city or purchased from 
 the Carnegie Building Fund. In 1904 an opinion was requested from the Corporation Counsel 
 relative to this matter and he replied as follows: 
 
 *"I do not think the eqtiipment of library btuldings includes the stocking of them with books. 
 
 It means the putting of the building into suitable condition for use as a library building." 
 
 Subsequently an enabling act was passed by the Legislatiu-e amending the law authorizing 
 the city to estabUsh and maintain a free public library system. This amendment specifically pro- 
 vided that damages to library property should be repaired and restored by the city and also that 
 the city should provide the original stock of books. 
 
 SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC 
 LIBRARY, ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS 
 
 In 1905 The City of New York entered into an agreement with The New York Public Library, 
 Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, for making good any damages to library buildings or their 
 contents and also for providing the original stock of books for any library buildings where no stock 
 of books exists. 
 
 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY 
 
 In fulfillment of the terms of the original Carnegie Agreement the City entered into a subse- 
 quent agreement for transferring the obligations of the representatives of Andrew Carnegie, to 
 the Brooklyn Public Library as their successors, and naming the Brookljoi Public Library as the 
 administrator of such public libraries in Brookl}^! as are supported in whole or in part by city fimds.

 In order to carry out the provisions of the original Carnegie Agreement the city entered into 
 a subsequent agreement with the Queens Borough Public Library in 1907 for the purpose of trans- 
 ferring the duties of the representatives of Andrew Carnegie to The Queens Borough Public Library. 
 In this subsequent agreement The Queens Borough Public Library was named as the agent of the 
 city in administering the public libraries in Queens to the support of which the city contributes. 
 
 CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE 
 
 For the purpose of summarizing the different steps which have occurred in the relation of 
 the City of New York to The New York, Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Library systems, 
 a chronological table has been prepared. Reference to this table shows that after the original 
 agreement was entered into between the city and the representatives of Andrew Carnegie for the 
 erection of branch Ubraries several supplementary agreements were entered into. The items to 
 which reference is made in the chronological table and which are starred are reproduced in full 
 in the appendix so that the exact language of any of the agreements can be referred to if desired.

 SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS OF LIBRARY BUILDINGS 
 
 A survey of the property used for branch library buildings shows that the three story type 
 on a frontage of fifty feet prevails in the New York Public Library system while one and two story 
 buildings on lots of a hundred feet and more frontage prevail in Brooklyn and Queens. The size 
 of lot and type of construction employed directly affect the cost of operation and maintenance of 
 the various branch libraries.

TABLE SHOWING LIBRARY STAFF CORRESPONDING TO CIRCULATION 
 
 For the purpose of summarizing the statistics pertaining to the library staff and circulation 
 in branch Ubraries, a "Table Showing Library Staff Corresponding to Circulation" is given on 
 pages i8 and 19. This table shows the median, maximum and minimum annual circulation of 
 the branches in each system corresponding to the size of the library staff. From an examination 
 of the data contained in the following table it will be seen that there is a close relation between 
 the service rendered as reflected in circulation statistics and the size of staff required for a branch 
 library. By plotting the data contained in the table on cross section paper it was found that a 
 line central to all of the plotted points indicated that an increase of one in the library staff corre- 
 sponds with an increase of a little over 20,000 in the annual circulation. 
 
 JANITORIAL SERVICE AND COMPENSATION 
 
 The majority of the Carnegie branch libraries in The New York Public Library system con- 
 tain apartments in which the janitors live. On this account the expenditure for janitor's wages 
 per 1,000 circulation in 1915 was but $3.78 in The New York Public Library branches, while in 
 the Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Library systems it was considerably more. However, 
 when the rental value of the janitor's apartments and the allowance made for window cleaning are 
 taken into consideration there is but little difference in the cost per 1,000 circulation. A com- 
 parison which has been made of the cost in 1915 for janitorial service including the rental value of 
 the quarters used by janitors and window cleaning in The New York and Brooklyn Public Library 
 branches shows that in the former the cost was $5.08 and in the latter $5.91 per 1,000 circulation, 
 as follows:

 depreciation on books per 1,000 circulation. It will be noticed that the depreciation rate for The 
 New York Public Library (Circulation Department) is $10.36, for The Brooklyn Public Library 
 $12.47 ^iid for The Queens Borough Public Library $11.04 per 1,000 circulation. The variation 
 in the amount of depreciation per i ,000 circulation is about in proportion to the difference in the 
 average price paid for books in each of the three library systems.

EXEMPTION OF TAXES ON LIBRARY PROPERTY 
 
 Property used for public library purposes is exempted from taxation. The sites used for the 
 branch libraries of the three library systems are assessed for $2,546,533 of which amount $1,303,733 
 is for the New York Public Library circulation branches. The loss to the city by reason of ex- 
 emption of taxes on sites used for library purposes averaged $2.82 per 1,000 books lent for home 
 use, and amounted to upwards of fifty thousand dollars in 191 5. 
 
 SEGREGATED BUDGETS 
 
 The first segregated budget for library purposes was set up in 1909. The appropriations for 
 the libraries were scheduled and each line in the budget given a separate code. Six titles were used 
 for each library. Subsequently the ntmiber of titles and codes used in setting up the appropria- 
 tions for The New York, Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Libraries was increased. In 1912, 
 1913 and 1914 functional subdivisions were introduced into the budget. The question was raised 
 as to whether or not the Board of Estimate and Apportionment had the right under the provisions 
 of the various contracts with the several libraries to segregate the library appropriations as was 
 done in the case of regular city departments. The matter was referred to the Corporation Counsel 
 in 1 9 14. He rendered an opinion to the effect that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment 
 was not permitted under the provisions of the various contracts with the several library systems 
 to segregate their annual appropriations. In 191 5 the appropriations to The New York, Brooklyn 
 and Queens Borough Public Libraries were granted in bulk to each library. A copy of the opinion 
 of the Corporation Counsel referred to will be found at the end of this report. 
 
 LIGHTING OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES 
 
 Inasmuch as the control of the gas and electricity used by the dty is centered in the Depart- 
 ment of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, the question has frequently been raised as to whether 
 the appropriation for illtmiinating the libraries supported by the city should not be made to the 
 above mentioned department instead of to the libraries. In answer to this question reference is 
 made to an opinion of the Corporation Cotmsel imder date of January 29, 1907 in which he made 
 the following statement: 
 
 "From the nature of the relations of the public libraries to the city, the Department of 
 Water Supply, Gas and Electricity is imder no duty or obligation to light such buildings out 
 of the funds appropriated to such department. Inasmuch, however, as the cost of lighting 
 such libraries must ultimately be borne by the city it is my opinion that the Commissioner of 
 Water Supply, Gas and Electricity has jurisdiction of a supervisory nature over all contracts 
 for lighting and that no contract shall be entered into unless approved by him. . . . 
 
 "In drawing up the next budget, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment might, at 
 its pleasure, establish the amoimt to be appropriated for the maintenance of public libraries 
 and then either assign the amoimt appropriated for lighting to the Department of Water 
 Supply, Gas and Electricity, directing the Commissioner to make the necessary contracts and 
 provide for lighting, or direct that no contracts shoiild be entered into unless approved by the 
 Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and that such contracts should not be 
 entered into for a rate in excess of that paid by the other city departments for service under 
 similar circumstances and conditions." 
 
 ENDOWMENT FUNDS 
 
 The New York Public Library (Circulation Department) and the Brookljoi Public Library 
 each has endowment funds. The principal of these funds amounts to over half a million dollars 
 as shown by the following tabulation. At the present time about $12,000 is available annually 
 from the securities owned by The New York Public Library (Circulation Department) and $3,800 
 from securities owned by The Brooklyn Public Library for the purchase of books.

 GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF FACTS 
 
 In order to present the facts concerning the three public library systems in Greater New York 
 reference will be made to several graphic charts. The purpose of these charts is to give the most 
 salient facts contained in the tables at the end of this report, in a graphic manner so that the reader 
 can readily draw his own conclusions. There are certain elements which enter into the business 
 of a branch library and which are regularly reported in the form of library statistics. Chief among 
 these statistics of interest from the standpoint of efficiency are circulation, book stock, accessions, 
 deductions, books rebound and size of staff. From these fundamental statistics certain additional facts 
 can be obtained for each branch, such as the number of times the book stock ttims over annually, per 
 cent, of book stock accessioned annually, per cent, of book stock deducted annually, per cent, of 
 book stock reboimd annually, book stock corresponding to circulation and library staff corre- 
 sponding to circulation. By properly co-ordinating all the library statistics mentioned it is possible 
 to arrive at definite conclusions as to certain fundamental principles underlying the work of the 
 libraries. In cases where the co-ordination of one element with another shows a close relation the 
 facts can readily be stated by means of a simple formula as well as graphically. However, in cases 
 where the more complex problems are dealt with it is necessary to make use of a graphic means of 
 presentation in order to show the relation existing between various elements in library work. 
 
 Charts Showing the Total Budget and the Library Appropriations (Including Special 
 Revenue Bonds), 1899-1915, Inclusive, Exhibits A and B. 
 
 In order to show the relation which exists between the total budget of the City of New York 
 and the appropriations for library purposes two graphic charts have been prepared as shown in 
 Exhibits A and B. The consolidation of Greater New York took place in 1898. The first appro- 
 priation for The Brooklyn Public Library was made in 1899, for The Queens Borough Public Library 
 in 1901 and for The New York Public Library in 1902. The Mtmicipal Reference Branch of The 
 
 21 
 
New York Public Library was granted funds for the first time in the 1913 budget. It will be noticed 
 by reference to Exhibits A and B that in the period during which the present system of branch 
 libraries was being established the ratio of increase in library appropriations exceeded that of the 
 total budget, but during the last five years the ratio of increase in library appropriations has been 
 about the same as that for the total budget. 
 
 Amount per $1,000 of the Budget Appropriated to Libraries, 1899-1915. Exhibit C. 
 
 The original agreement between the representatives of Andrew Carnegie and The City of 
 New York for the erection of branch libraries was made in 1901. Since then there has been a 
 rapid increase in the amount of city funds allotted to the public libraries. In order to present the 
 amount per $1,000 of the total city budget appropriated to the public libraries a graphic chart 
 has-been prepared. It will be noticed by referring to Exhibit C that after the Carnegie agreement 
 was entered into the per cent, of the total budget appropriated to libraries continued to increase 
 until in 1911 the maximum of $7.50 i^er $1,000 of the total budget was reached, since which time 
 there has been a slight downward trend. 
 
 Cost or Operation and Maintenance of The New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn 
 AND Queens Borough Public Libraries, by Object of Expenditure, 1915. Exhibit D 
 
 In 1915 there was spent $1,634,471.40 by The New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn 
 and Queens Borough Public Libraries for operation and maintenance. For the purpose of showing 
 the cost of operation and maintenance analyzed by object of expenditure, Exhibit D has been pre- 
 pared. The first impression obtained from this exhibit is the preponderance of the expenditiu^ 
 for salaries of librarians and assistants, which is nearly half of the total, over other items. Next 
 to the expenditure for salaries of librarians and assistants comes that for books, which amounts 
 to 15.7 per cent, of the total. The other items of expenditure are shown in Exhibit D arranged 
 in order of size. 
 
 Per Cent, of Total Library Expenditures Paid for Salaries of Librarians and Assistants, 
 
 1915. -Exhibit E 
 
 In 1 91 5 the salaries of librarians and assistants in all public libraries amounted to $780,944.90. 
 The term librarians and assistants is used to cover chief librarians, chiefs of departments, super- 
 \n.sors, branch Hbrarians, first assistants, senior assistants, junior assistants and cataloguers. The 
 median salary for these positions is $660 in the New York and Brooklyn Public Libraries and 
 $720 in the Queens Borough Public Library. A comparison of the per cent, of total library ex- 
 penditures paid for salaries of librarians and assistants in each system as well as the Municipal 
 Reference Branch has been made as shown in Exhibit E. In The New York and Queens Borough 
 Public Libraries 48 per cent, of their total expenditure was for salaries of librarians and assistants, 
 while in The Brooklyn Public Library the per cent, was 45 and in the Municipal Reference Branch 
 76. The ai^parently high ratio in the Municipal Reference Branch is due to the fact that this 
 library occupies space in the Municipal Building for which no charge is made. 
 
 Per Cent, of Total Library Expenditures Paid for Books, Periodicals and Binding, 1915. 
 
 Exhibit F 
 
 The expenditure for books, periodicals and binding in 1915 amounted to $366,411.77. In 
 order to show the per cent, of total library expenditures paid for books, periodicals and binding 
 Exhibit F has been prepared. In The New York (Circulation Department), Brookl>Ti and Queens 
 Borough Public Libraries 22 per cent, of the total expenditure is for books, periodicals and binding. 
 In the Municipal Reference Branch only 11 per cent, of the cost of operation and maintenance is 
 for books, periodicals and binding. This low per cent, in the Municipal Reference Branch is partly 
 accounted for by the fact that this library obtains many of its books and pubHcations by gift from 
 city departments. 
 
 23 
 
Trend in Library Appropriations (Including Special Revenue Bonds), 1899-1915, Inclusive. 
 
 Exhibit G 
 
 In order to show the trend in the appropriations made to The New York (Circulation De- 
 partment), Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Libraries since consolidation Exhibit G has been 
 prepared. It will be noticed that the greatest increase is reported for the New York Public Library, 
 while The Brooklyn Public Library comes second and The Queens Borough PubUc Library last, 
 as would be expected, in view of the number of branches in each system. In 1915 the approjiriations, 
 including special revenue bonds, reached $744,609.50 for the New York, $451,936.84 for the 
 Brooklyn and $155,385.00 for the Queens Borough Public Libraries. 
 
 Number of Volumes Lent for Home Use in the New York (Circulation Department) 
 Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Libraries, 1899-1915, Inclusive. Exhibit H 
 
 There has been a constant increase in the niunber of volumes lent for home use since the city 
 began contributing to the support of The New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn and 
 Queens Borough Public Libraries. A graphic "Chart Showing Number of Volumes Lent for Home 
 Use" is presented in Exhibit H. The New York Public Library shows the largest increase, which 
 is due to the estabHshment of mere branches. Next in order of size of circulation comes the Brooklyn 
 and Queens Borough Public Libraries. The total number of volumes lent for home use in cir- 
 culating branch libraries supported in part by the city last year was 17,007,098. 
 
 Comparative Circulation by Months in Each Library System for 1914 and 1915. 
 
 Exhibit I 
 
 The circulation reported in each of the three library systems in Greater New York is shown 
 by months for the years 1914 and 191 5 in Exhibit I. It will be noticed that March ordinarily 
 shows the highest circulation, after which the number of books lent for home use falls off until in 
 September the lowest point is reached. In March, 191 5 The New York Public Library (Circula- 
 tion Department) lent 1,010,810 books for home use. The Brooklyn Public Library 563,606 books 
 and The Queens Borough Public Library 146,107 books. It will be noticed by reference to Ex- 
 hibit I that in each library system the average monthly circulation for 191 5 showed a considerable 
 increase over that for 19 14. 
 
 Per Cent, of Circulation and Library Appropriation (Including Special Revenue Bonds) 
 Above or Below Moving Average, 1905-1915. Exhibit J 
 
 As the circulation seems to be the only measure of service at present available a study has 
 been made of the effect which an tacrease or decrease in the budget allowance has upon the ac- 
 celeration or retardation of circulation. In order to present the results of the investigation which 
 has been made in a graphic manner a "Chart Showing Per Cent, of Circulation and Library Ap- 
 propriations (Including Special Revenue Bonds) Above or Below Moving Average" has been pre- 
 pared for all three library systems combined. Reference to Exhibit J shows on the one hand that 
 a deviation in the appropriation curve above the average line is followed by an upward trend in 
 the circulation curve. On the other hand a decrease in circulation followed a cut in the appro- 
 priation. A study of the data available reveals the fact that large expenditures for new books 
 tend to accelerate the circulation while the reverse policy retards circulation. Obviously it is 
 the new books which are most effective in attracting borrowers to a circulating library. 
 
 Expenditures per 1,000 Circulation from Appropriations (Including Special Revenue 
 
 Bonds) by The New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn and Queens 
 
 Borough Public Libraries, 1900-1915, Inclusive. Exhibit K 
 
 In order to present the relation which the expenditures from approi^riations including special 
 revenue bonds bear to the circulation a graphic "Chart Showing Expenditures per 1,000 Circu- 
 lation from Appropriations (Including Special Revenue Bonds) " has been prepared. Reference 
 to Exhibit K shows that the lowest average has been maintained by The New York Public Library, 
 
 23 
 
while the average for The Brooklyn Public Library is somewhat higher and the average for The 
 Queens Borough Public Library is the highest. For the three library systems the average expendi- 
 ture per 1,000 circulation from tax levy funds was $79 for the New York, $99 for the Brooklyn 
 and $128 for the Queens Borough Public Libraries, respectively, for the period shown in Exhibit K. 
 
 Growth in Book Stock in Each Libraky System, 1899-1915, Inclusive. Exhibit L 
 
 In order to show the increase in the number of volumes in The New York (Circulation De- 
 partment), Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Libraries, a graphic "Chart Showing Growth 
 in Book Stock in Each Library System" has been prepared. Reference to Exhibit L shows that 
 there has been a steady increase in the book stock in each library system. The greatest increase 
 is recorded for The New York Public Library, while The Brooklyn Public Library comes second 
 and The Queens Borough Public Library third. The average annual increase in stock of books 
 for these three library systems has been 62,874, 51,528 and 13,226 volumes, respectively. 
 
 Trend in Number of Times Book Stock Turns Over in Each Library 
 System, 1901-1915, Inclusive. Exhibit M 
 
 A graphic "Chart Showing Trend in Number of Times Book Stock Turns Over in Each Li- 
 brary System" has been prepared as shown in Exhibit M. The method of arriving at the annual 
 turnover is to divide the circulation each year by the stock of books. The first impression one 
 gets from a glance at the accompanying chart is that the highest rate of turnover of book stock 
 has been maintained by The New York Public Library. The Brooklyn Public Library comes 
 second, and The Queens Borough Public Library last. In all three Ubrary systems the tendency 
 in the rate of turnover of book stock has been upward. The rate of turnover has increased on an 
 average of one in twenty years, in The New York and Brooklyn circulating branch libraries, and one 
 in seven years in The Queens Borough Public Library. For 1915 the tiimover for the New York, 
 Brooklyn and Queens Borough circulating branch libraries was 9.44, 9.04 and 7.13, respectively. 
 
 Library Staff Corresponding to Circulation in All Branch Libraries, 1915. Exhibit N 
 
 For the purpose of showing the general relation which the size of library staff bears to the 
 annual circulation in the various branch libraries a graphic chart has been prepared as shown in 
 Exhibit N. Reference to this exhibit shows a straight line drawn in a central position with refer- 
 ence to the points representing the relation of library staff to circulation in the individual branches. 
 It will be seen from Exhibit N that an increase of one in the library staff corresponds to an increase 
 of 31,666 in the annual circulation. 
 
 Book Stock Corresponding to Circulation in New York Public Library Branches, 1915. 
 
 Exhibit O 
 
 In order to establish the general relation existing between the book stock in branch libraries 
 and the annual circulation, a graphic chart has been drawn as shown in Exhibit O. From this 
 chart it appears that the average branch in The New York Public Library system requires an 
 initial stock of 7,000 books and for every 16,000 books lent annually for home use an additional 
 1,000 books is reqiured to be added to the stock. 
 
 Accession Rate in The New York (Circulation Department), Brooklyn and Queens Bor- 
 ough Public Library Branches, 19x5. Exhibits P, Q and R 
 
 The books in a circulating branch library wear out directly in proportion to the number of 
 times they are loaned for home use, or in other words, the larger the annual turnover of book stock 
 the greater per cent, of the total book stock required to be accessioned annually. For the pur- 
 pose of establishing the general relation which exists between the "ntunber of times book stock 
 
 24 .. .^ 
 
turns over annually" and the "per cent, of total book stock accessioned annually" in each library 
 S3rstem, three graphic charts have been prepared, as shown in Exhibits P, Q and R. For all three 
 systems an increase of one in the annual turnover corresponds to an increase of two and one-half 
 in the per cent, of total book stock accessioned annually.

 Branches, 1915. Exhibits S, T and U

 for 1915 in The New York, Brooklyn and Queens Borough Public Libraries. The results of the 
 study are presented graphically in Exhibits S, T and U. The inquiry shows that an increase of 
 one in the "number of times book stock turns over annually" corresponds to an increase of 1.9 
 "per cent, of the total book stock rebound annually" in The New York Public Library branches 
 and to ^ per cent, in The Brooklyn Public Library branches and to ^|^ per cent, in The Queens 
 Borough Public Library branches. 
 
 Deduction Rate in New York Public Library Branches, 1915. Exhibit V 
 
 An investigation has been made into the relation existing between the turnover in book stock 
 and the per cent, of total book stock deducted annually in The New York Public Library branches. 
 The results of the investigation are presented in Exhibit V and show that an increase of one in 
 the "niunber of times book stock ttuns over annually" corresponds to an increase of two and one- 
 half in the "per cent, of total book stock deducted annually." The volumes which are reported 
 as being deducted from the stock of branch libraries include not only the discards but also books 
 sent to the central reserve collection and travelling Ubraries.

 CITY OF NEW YORK 
 
 Law Department 
 
 Office of the Corporation Counsel 
 
 New York, September 17, 1914. 
 Hon. William A. Prendergast, 
 
 Comptroller. 
 Sir: 
 
 I am in receipt of the following communication dated April 30, 1914 and signed by Charles S. Hervey, Deputy 
 Comptroller: 
 
 "Under date of March 13th, 1914, you rendered an opinion concerning The Brookljm Public Library, in 
 response to a communication from the Comptroller, of which the following is a copy: 
 
 ' I ask to be advised whether the Comptroller, in the audit of payments made to the Trustees of The 
 New York, The Brooklyn or The Queens Borough Libraries, may legally enforce the use of city money 
 for salaries and wages for those libraries as provided in the segregated form of the City Budget for 1913, 
 or whether the moneys must be paid as requisitioned for by the respective Boards of Trustees when those 
 requisitions disregard the Budget segregations. 
 
 'For your information in connection with this inquiry, I transmit herewith copy of the Budget for 
 1913 and copies of the contracts made by the City with the three Boards of Trustees. 
 
 I20 
 
'The inquiry is made because two of the library boards in payrolls submitted to the Department 
 of Finance disregarded the Budget salary and wages schedules for their respective organization. All of the 
 library boards, however, appear to conform to the appropriation segregations for other than salary and 
 wages purposes.' 
 
 "In' the said opinion you advise that moneys must be paid as requisitioned by the Board of Trustees of 
 the Library, when the aggregate does not exceed the amoimt appropriated and proper vouchers, in forms ap- 
 proved by you, are submitted, even when those requisitions disregard the Budget segregations. 
 
 "It appears that your opinion of March 13th relates to The Brooklyn Public Library only. Considering 
 the same phases of the question as were considered in regard to Brooklyn, will you please advise me along similar 
 lines regarding the powers of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in respect to the administration of 
 moneys appropriated for The New York Public Library and The Queens Borough Public Library." 
 
 The opinion dated March 13th, 1914, dealt with the contractual relations existing between the City and The 
 Brooklyn Public Library only, for the reason that subsequent to the receipt of your letter requesting advice this 
 office was informed that The New York Public Library and The Queens Borough Library were conforming to the 
 schedules for salaries and wages as set forth in the Budget. I will now, however, as requested, consider the city's 
 relations to the two last mentioned libraries. 
 
 On December 8, 1897, the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of The City of New York, acting through the 
 Board of Estimate and Apportionment, executed a contract with The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and 
 Tilden Foundations. This agreement relates to the new library building to be erected at Fifth avenue and 42nd 
 street, on the site formerly occupied by the reservoir and provides, among other things, that The New York Public 
 Library shall have the right to occupy such building as long as it continues to maintain it as a public library and 
 reading room. 
 
 Paragraph "Second" provides that the City shall on reasonable demand at all times maintain and keep the 
 building in repair. 
 
 Paragraph "Seventh" stipulates that the Hbrary "shall appoint, direct, control and remove all persons em- 
 ployed within said building in and about the care of the building and the library and collections therein 
 contained; * * *." 
 
 Paragraph "Eighth" appears in this form: 
 
 "The city shall annually provide funds for the maintenance and repair of the building and the City au- 
 thorities or Department of Public Parks, acting under its direction, shall at all times provide and care for the 
 roads, walks, fences, grading and general care of the grounds and appurtenances attached thereto. The City 
 in addition shall at all times furnish a supply of water and adequate police patrol and protection. With the 
 limitations already defined, the party of the second part shall exercise entire direction and management over 
 all the affairs of the library building and the books, collections and appurtenances." 
 
 The only financial burden assumed by the city in this agreement is the obligation to provide funds for the main- 
 tenance and repair of the building, and to furnish a supply of water and adequate police patrol and protection. 
 
 On July 17, 1901, the city acting through the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, executed another agree- 
 ment with The New York Public Library. This contract relates to the erection and maintenance of certain branch 
 libraries which were to be brought into existence through gifts from Andrew Carnegie. The essence of this agree- 
 ment is that the city shall provide the sites, Mr. Carnegie shall provide money for constructing and equipping the 
 buildings, and the city shall provide for their maintenance. 
 
 Paragraph "Third" provides that The New York Public Library shall complete these branch library buildings 
 as soon as possible "and thereafter to conduct and carry on in the same respectively with funds to be provided by 
 the party of the first part (the city) as hereinafter provided, free public libraries for circulation with reading rooms, 
 and to devote the same to the use of the public." 
 
 Paragraph "Fourth" provides: 
 
 "The party of the first part (the city) fiuther agrees adequately to provide for maintenance of the free public 
 branch libraries to be erected pursuant to this agreement and of travelling libraries in said City, and to that 
 end to provide in each year in the annual budget and tax levy of said city a sum not less than ten per centum of the 
 amount expended by said Andrew Carnegie under the provisions of said act, which sum shall be expended for 
 the maintenance of the branch libraries to be hereafter constructed pursuant to this contract, which main- 
 tenance shall be provided for, said libraries to be hereafter constructed as rapidly as the same are obtained ; * * * 
 and provided further that the obligation hereby assumed by the party of the first part to provide for such main- 
 tenance, a sum not less than ten per centum of the amount so expended by said Andrew Carnegie shall not be 
 taken to limit the right of said Board of Estimate and Apportionment to appropriate for such maintenance 
 any larger sum if in its discretion additional appropriation should be required." 
 Paragraph "Seventh" provides: 
 
 "* * •; the party of the second part (the library) however, shaU appoint, direct, control and remove all 
 persons employed within the said buildings, respectively, and in the care of the same; all fines to be exacted 
 from any person or persons shall be retained by the party of the second part applied to the business of circula- 
 tion and duly accounted for in its accounts. All balances of annual appropriations made by the party of the 
 first part and not duly expended by the party of the second part for the maintenance of such libraries during 
 the calendar years for which such appropriations shall have been made, shall be accounted for and paid by the 
 said party of the second part to the Comptroller of The City of New York to be deposited to the credit of the' 
 General Fund for the reduction of taxation within sixty days after the expiration of each of such calendar years." 
 
 121 
 
By paragraph "Eighth" the city bound itself, in addition to the provision for maintenance heretofore pro- 
 vided for, annually to provide funds for the repair of the several buildings located upon sites owned by the city and 
 to furnish a supply of water. That paragraph then continues in this language: 
 
 "With the limitations already defined the party of the second part (the library) shall exercise protection and 
 management over the affairs of the several library buildings and the books, collections and appurtenances." 
 
 It follows that the Board of Trustees of The New York Public Library, being clothed with authority under 
 its contract with the City to "direct and control" persons employed within the branch libraries, and to "exercise 
 protection and management over the affairs of the several library buildings" may expend appropriations made to 
 it by the City for salaries and wages in such a manner as the Trustees may decide to be best suited to that purpose. 
 Moneys must be paid by the Comptroller on proper vouchers for salaries and wages when requisitioned by the 
 Board of Trustees even when those requisitions disregard the Budget segregations. 
 
 Chapter 164 of the Laws of 1907, incorporated The Queens Borough Public Library and merged in the cor- 
 poration thus created The Queens Borough Library. Section 3 of that act provides: 
 
 "The Trustees shall have absolute control of the expenditure of all moneys appropriated by The City o 
 New York for the maintenance of libraries conducted or to be conducted by the corporation in The Borough 
 of Queens, and shall have the power to appoint and fix the salaries of such officers and employees as they shall 
 deem necessary, who, unless employed under special contract, shall hold their offices during the pleasure of 
 the Trustees; but no Trustee shall receive compensation as such, and the authority of the Trustees to so make 
 and regulate expenditures for maintenance and their right to select, employ, fix salaries and discharge employees 
 shall be absolute under this act, any acts under the Legislature of the State of New York to the contrary not- 
 withstanding." 
 
 This act took effect April 17, 1907, and on October 18, 1907, the City, acting through the Board of Estimate 
 and Apportionment, enterwi into a contract with The Queens Borough Public Library. 
 
 The "Third" paragraph thereof provides: 
 
 "That the city, in addition to the amount which it is obligated to pay under the agreement of September 
 11, 1901 (contract between the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and the agents of Andrew Carnegie), 
 will appropriate and pay for the maintenance and support of The Queens Borough Public Library such sums 
 as may be requisite for the proper maintenance of the libraries under its jurisdiction, such amounts to constitute 
 a City charge and to be provided for in the annual budget and tax levy of said City." 
 
 Paragraph "Third" contains this additional stipulation: 
 
 " It is however agreed that the entire amount of the annual appropriations as made by the Board of Esti- 
 mate and Apportionment for the conduct and maintenance, which free public libraries in The Borough of 
 Queens, shall be disbursed and paid by the Comptroller to The Queens Borough Public Library upon submission 
 to him of a statement of obligations incurred or of moneys expended for the use and purposes of said free library 
 system; provided, however, that on and after December 31, 1907, one-twelfth of the amount appropriated for 
 the yearly salaries shall be paid over by said Comptroller to The Queens Borough Public Library on the last 
 day of each month, and upon the payment of said obligations by The Queens Borough Public Library proper 
 vouchers and accounts shall be returned to the Comptroller of The City of New York for such expenditures." 
 
 Both in Section 3, Chapter 164 of the Laws of 1907 and in paragraph "Third" of the agreement dated October 
 18, 1907, the broadest power is granted to the Trustees of the library to expend moneys within the appropriations 
 granted, for salaries and wages of its employees and to fix such salaries and wages within such appropriation. 
 
 I have been furnished with a copy of a resolution adopted by the Trustees of The Queens Borough Public Li- 
 brary on October 13, 1911, whereby the Trustees assumed to waive for the year 1912, the power to fix salaries and 
 wages, and, so far as I have been able to discover, that waiver applied only to the year 1912. 
 
 Unless the Board of Trustees has since abdicated its powers under the statute and the contract, moneys for 
 salaries and wages must be paid as requisitioned for, even when those requisitions disregard the Budget segregations. 
 
 Respectfully yours,

 Corporation Counsel.

 Lighting of Public Libraries Need Not be Paid For Out of Funds Appropriated to 
 Department of Water Supply, But Since the Cost Thereof Must be Borne by the City, 
 the Commissioner of Water Supply Has Supervising Jurisdiction Over All Contracts 
 Therefor and No Such Contract Shall be Entered Into Unless Approved of By Him.

 Office of the Corporation Counsel, 
 Borough of Manhattan, 
 January 29, 1907. 
 Hon. John H, O'Brien, 
 
 Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. 
 Sol: 
 
 Your predecessor addressed to my predecessor a commtmication dated May 2, 1906, reading as follows: 
 
 "Application is being made to this Department to provide electric and gas lighting to Public Libraries 
 throughout the Greater City. I quote the following, as one of the latest of these applications which we have 
 received: 
 
 "•March 19, 1906. 
 "'Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, 
 Borough Hall, Jackson Avenue, 
 Long Island City, N. Y. 
 "'Gentlemen: 
 
 '"Will you be kind enough to provide electric light for three new branches about to be opened by the 
 Library Board of Trustees located at 
 
 491 Broadway, Long Island City, 
 Harriman Street, near Fulton, in Fraternity Hall, Jamaica, L. I. 
 Bell, near Warburton, Bayside, L. I., Owner, John Lindner.'" 
 '"The Broadway Branch will have sixteen 16-candle power lamps; Bayside Branch, forty-six 16-candle 
 power lamps; Jamaica Branch, probably twenty-four. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 J. Hume, 
 
 Librarian, 
 Queens Borough Library, 
 101 East Avenue, L. I. C. ' " 
 "I note that in the Budget for 1906, on page 91, the appropriation for 'Libraries' includes an item for 
 lighting, both as to The New York Public Library and The Brooklyn Public Library. In Queens it also in- 
 cludes an item for lighting, under this heading: 
 
 '"Queens Borough Library, and for maintenance and establish other libraries when required as 
 branches. ' " 
 
 "I presume the application above quoted is for such branches. 
 
 "Under your opinion of September 12, 1905, I understand that the lighting of these libraries should be 
 paid for by my Department. If so, part of this appropriation should be transferred to my Department, and 
 the libraries notified that their lighting will come under the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. 
 
 "I am informed that there is a good deal of confusion in regard to the library accounts, and also in regard 
 to the Carnegie libraries which are being opened throughout the various boroughs, and I would ask you to 
 advise me if I am to take this matter up in the regular way under your opinion of September 12, as has been 
 the case of other departments. 
 
 "I would also ask if you would give me full advice in regard to the matter as this Department is not ad- 
 vised fully as to its duties in connection with the lighting of the various libraries and classes of libraries mentioned 
 above." 
 
 Thereupon my predecessor addressed a communication to the Comptroller setting forth the facts stated in the 
 communication from the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and requested to be notified ''as 
 to what funds are provided in the Budget of 1906, for the lighting of public libraries in The City of New York, 
 and whether existing balances thereof could not be transferred to the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Elec- 
 tricity, to meet the expense upon that Department for the purpose of lighting bills in the ' Carnegie Library ' approach- 
 ing completion in The City of New York." 
 
 To that communication the Comptroller replied, under date of July 16, 1906, as follows: 
 
 "This ofiBce is in receipt of your communication of June 18th in the matter of providing gas and electric 
 lighting to the public libraries in The City of New York wherein you ask to be informed 
 
 123 
 
" ' As to what funds are provided in the Budget of 1906 for the lighting of public libraries of The City 
 of New York, and whether existing balances thereof could not be transferred to the Department of Water 
 Supply, Gas and Electricity, to meet the expense upon that Department for the purpose of lighting bills 
 in the ''Carnegie Libraries" approaching completion in The City of New York.'" 
 
 " 'In reply thereto, I have to say that the moneys provided for lighting The New York Public Library, 
 Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundation, and The Brooklyn Public Library are provided by the Board of Esti- 
 mate and Apportionment pursuant to agreements entered into between the Trustees of said institutions and 
 the City. 
 
 "In the budget for 1906 The Queens Borough Library is given the sum of $4,200 for the purpose of de- 
 fraying the expense of fuel, lighting, rent, repairs, etc. How much of said sum is for lighting it is impossible 
 to state, but it is evident that no part of said sum could be transferred to the Department of Water Supply, 
 Gas and Electricity for the reason that it is The Queens Borough Library that makes the requisition for addi- 
 tional electric lighting for its new branches. I therefore have to say in reply to your query that it does not seem 
 that any existing balances for lighting various public libraries can be transferred to the Department of Water 
 Supply, Gas and Electricity." 
 
 This letter from the Comptroller answers so much of your communication as relates to the transfer to any 
 existing balances to your Department for the lighting of branch libraries in the Borough of Queens. 
 
 In your letter you ask tke further and broader question as to the policy to be adopted by your Department in 
 regard to the lighting of public libraries, and particulariy of the Carnegie free branch libraries. This question is a 
 very important one, not only on account of the rapidly growing library system but also because it involves the broader 
 question of centralization of powers in the government of the City. 
 
 The policy 'of the City as to the lighting of public buildings has been defined by my predecessors in office and 
 may be briefly summarized as follows: 
 
 The jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity over such lighting is established 
 by Section 469 of the Greater New York Charter, which provides: 
 
 "Section 469. The Commissioner of water supply, gas and electricity shall have cognizance and control:*** 
 "5. Of the making and performance of contracts when duly authorized in accord with the provisions of 
 this act, and for the execution of the same in the matter of furnishing the city, or any part thereof, with gas, 
 electricity or any other illuminant or of steam; of the selecting, locating and removing and changing of lights 
 for the use of the city; of the inspecting and testing of gas and electricity used for light, heating and power pur- 
 poses, electric motors, electric wires and of all lights furnished to said city; and of the use and transmission of 
 gas, electricity, pneumatic power and steam for all purposes in, upon, across, over and under all streets, roads, 
 avenues, parks, public places and public buildings. • • •" 
 
 It seems clearly to have been the intent of the Legislature in framing this section to center control and responsi- 
 bility for due execution of contracts for gas, electricity and steam in one Department. This control and responsi- 
 bility further implies the right to examine and certify claims for such service, or to refuse certification, as may be. 
 
 There are no provisions of the Charter restricting your power in making such contracts, beyond the general 
 provisions of Section 419 and the other sections which apply generally to the making of all contracts for supplies. 
 
 As a general proposition, you have not the right to contract for power without public letting. The supplying 
 of power to the public buildings of the city shotild be regarded as one piece of work and should be done in accord- 
 ance with a contract made at public letting. 
 
 The question then presents itself as to whether public libraries shall be regarded in all respects as public build- 
 ings and whether the same rules shall be applied to them as to other pubUc buildings. The buildings, the lighting 
 of which has been passed upon by my Department, were all controlled by some department or official of the City. 
 
 The libraries present a somewhat anomalous situation, in that while they are maintained by the City, their 
 control is in the hands of Boards or of private trustees. 
 
 The library system of the Greater City may be described on broad lines as follows: 
 
 In the past the City furnished aid and maintenance to many libraries separately, but by a process of centraliza- 
 tion and consolidation all the smaller libraries in each borough have been gathered together under one head. These 
 larger or holding bodies as shown by the Budget of 1907 constituting the only bodies to which appropriations were 
 made for library purxjses are The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations for the Boroughs 
 of Manhattan, Richmond and The Bronx, The Brooklyn Public Library, and The Queens Borough Library. 
 
 The Queens Borough Library occupies a somewhat different position to that of the other two in that by the 
 terms of its Charter obtained from the Regents of the State, its trustees are appointed by the Mayor and it has, 
 of recent years, been regarded as a City Department, its employees being subject to Civil Service rules, etc. As to 
 the free branch libraries of The Queens Borough Library, it is, therefore, my opinion that they are to be regarded 
 as public buildings, the lighting of which is to be xmder your complete jurisdiction on the lines stated above as 
 applying to other public buildings in the city. 
 
 The branch libraries in the other boroughs are of two kinds: (1) those the city maintains as a residt of con- 
 tract obligations, and (2) those the city maintains voluntarily and whose maintenance the city could apparently 
 terminate at any time. 
 
 The first class comprises the Carnegie branch libraries. Under date of July 17, 1901, an agreement was entered 
 into between the City and The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, which library 
 had been designated by Andrew Carnegie as his agent for the purpose of the agreement. By such agreement the 
 offer of Andrew Carnegie to furnish the funds necessary for the erection of buildings for sixty-five free branch libraries 
 for circulation in the City of New York, provided the City woiUd furnish the necessary sites for such buildings and 
 agree in satisfactory form, to provide for the maintenance, of such branches when completed, was. accepted. The 
 
 124 
 
City thereby bound itself to acquire the necessary sites, and to lease said land together with the buildings and im- 
 provements erected thereon, to The New York Public Library so long as the said P*ublic Library and its successors 
 should continue to maintain upon the said land free branch public libraries and reading rooms. The City further 
 bound itself by the following proviso: 
 
 "4. The party of the first part further agrees adequately to provide for the maintenance of the free public 
 branch libraries to be erected pursuant to this agreement and the travelling libraries in said city, and to that 
 end to provide in each year in the Annual Budget and Tax Levy of said city a sum not less than ten per centum 
 of the amount expended by said Andrew Carnegie under the provisions of said act, which sum shall be expended 
 for the maintenance of the branch libraries to be hereafter constructed pursuant to this contract, which main- 
 tenance shall be provided for said libraries to be hereafter constructed as rapidly as the same are obtained; 
 and in case a Ubrary building is under construction, maintenance may be provided therefore to commence when 
 constructed. * * •" 
 
 By the terms of the agreement the City was to have access to all such library buildings for general police visita- 
 tion and supervision and was to furnish a supply of water but The New York Public Library was "to appoint, direct, 
 control and remove all persons employed within said buildings respectively and in the care of the same," and was 
 "to exercise direction and management over the affairs of the several library buildings and the books, collections 
 and appurtenances." 
 
 The second agreement was entered into March 26, 1902, which did not, however, affect any of the provisions 
 referred to above. 
 
 Contracts similar in form to that of JiUy 17, 1901, were entered into with the Trustees of The Queens Borough 
 Library and The Brooklyn Public Library. 
 
 The other, or second class of libraries, are those maintained by the City, but which the City is apparently under 
 no legal duty to maintain. The agreement of July 17, 1901 was entered into by the City pursuant to the provisions 
 of Chapter 860 of the Laws of 1901, which was 
 
 "An act to authorize and empower the City of New York to establish and maintain a free public library 
 system." 
 
 This act contained a specific authorization for the execution of such a contract in regard to the Carnegie Free 
 Branch Libraries. The act further provided that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment might provide in 
 such contracts for the maintenance of a public library system in the City of New York, including therein the main- 
 tenance of any or all the free public libraries then existing in the city, which had theretofore been maintained in 
 whole or in part by the public funds of the City, as well as for the maintenance of the branch libraries to be erected 
 pursuant to the terms of such agreement. 
 
 This clause of the Act of 1901 was specifically referred to in the preamble of the said agreement in relation to 
 the Carnegie Branch Libraries, and then followed a clause reading: 
 
 "Whereas, it is not at the present time deemed expedient by the parties hereto to avail of so much of said 
 act of the Legislature as relates to the clause in this agreement which provides for the support of free public 
 libraries now existing in said city which have heretofore been maintained in whole or in part by the public 
 funds of said City but rather to leave that subject to be disposed of as the same may from time to time arise 
 hereafter." 
 
 The result is that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment annually appropriates a fund for the maintenance 
 of all such Ubraries, but the City has not in fact obligated itself to maintain a pubUc Ubrary system other than that 
 provided for in the contracts for the Carnegie Branch Libraries. 
 
 I am of the opinion that so long as the maintenance of all such libraries is borne by the City, it is immaterial 
 whether such maintenance is provided for by contract or not, and it is also immaterial whether any such libraries 
 occupy an entire building or not, it being a Ubrar> building as to the part so occupied. 
 
 Formerly, many libraries were annually allowed a certain amoimt based not on their expense of maintenance, 
 but on the number of volumes circulated. If any libraries are maintained by the city on any such basis, they wotdd 
 seem to constitute a different class and the details of their management and the expenditure of the fund allowed 
 them by the City would not be a matter of jurisdiction or supervision over which the City or your Department would 
 have any control. I am of the opinion, however, that all other private libraries are quasi public buildings. 
 
 Public buildings might, therefore, be placed under two heads: (1) Those under the jurisdiction of City De- 
 partments or officials and, (2) those under the jurisdiction of Boards of Private Trustees. 
 
 From the nature of the relations of tlie public libraries to the City, the Department of Water Supply, Gas and 
 Electricity is under no duty or obligation to light such buildings out of the fimds appropriated to such Department. 
 Inasmuch, however, as the cost of lighting such libraries must ultimately be borne by the City, it is my opinion that 
 the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity has jurisdiction of a supervisory nature over all contracts 
 for lighting and that no contract shall be entered into unless approved by him. Inasmuch as the libraries are now 
 paying a higher rate for lighting than are the City Departments for Ughting under similar circumstances and con- 
 ditions, it is to the advantage of the libraries that the Commissioner should exercise supervision, and I am informed 
 that the Trustees of these public libraries will look with favor on any such plan. On the making of such contracts, 
 subject to the approval of the Conmiissioner, all payments thereunder would be made by the Trustees of the Public 
 Libraries, out of the funds appropriated annually for the maintenance of such libraries. 
 
 In drawing up the next Budget, the Board of Estimate and Apportioimient might, at its pleastxre, establish 
 the amount to be appropriated for the maintenance of public libraries and either assign the amoimt appropriated 
 
 125 
 
for lighting to the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity directing the Commissioner to make the neces- 
 sary contracts and provide for lighting, or direct that no contracts should be entered into unless approved by the 
 Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity and that such contracts should not be entered into for a rate 
 in excess of that paid by the other City Departments for service under similar circumstances and conditions. 
 
 If, under the above procedure, any unexpended balances remained with the Department of Water Supply, 
 Gas and Electricity at the end of the year it should be accoimted for and paid by the Commissioner to the Comp- 
 troller of The City of New York to be deposited to the credit of the General Fund for the reduction of taxation within 
 sixty days after the expiration of each calendar year.

 In the Matter of the Application of the Board of Trustees 
 of The Brooklyn Public Library for the cancellation 
 of taxes, water rates and assessments for local im- 
 provements as hereinafter set forth. 
 
 Hon. William A. Prendergast, 
 Comptroller. 
 
 Sir: 
 
 1 have received from your office a communication dated April 11, 1911, transmitting for advice this application. 
 In advising you I shall take up separately the different properties and the charges against them. 
 
 (1) Section 1, Block 244, Lot S, known as the Montague Branch. The portion of this property not actually 
 used for library purposes, but rented to tenants, has the following charges outstanding against it: 
 
 Year Taxes Water Rates 
 
 1903 $1,370.29 1120.75 
 
 1904 1,966.20 132.53 
 
 1905 1,953.30 134.55 
 
 1906 2,306.53 134.55 
 
 1907 2,331.12 115.00 
 
 1908 2,505.31 81.65 
 
 1909 2,085.36 81.65 
 
 1910 2,177.98 74.55 
 
 By an agreement entered into between The Brooklyn Public Library and The City of New York, made and 
 concluded June 5, 1903, pursuant to the authority of Chapter 606 of Laws of 1902, the city contracted for various 
 considerations to "appropriate and pay for the maintenance and support of said Brooklyn Public Library such 
 sums as may be requisite for the proper maintenance of the libraries heretofore under the administration of the Board 
 of Directors of The Brooklyn Public Library * * * such amounts to constitute a city charge and to be provided for 
 in the Annual Budget and Tax Levy of the city." After reciting the fact that The Brooklyn Public Library, in 
 anticipation of expansion, had secured title to certain property which was not presently used for library purposes, 
 but was rented to tenants, the agreement above referred to provided that, "for the purpose of this agreement, how- 
 ever, it is understood that any taxes and assessments upon any of the property of the said Brooklyn Public Library * * * 
 are to be regarded as part of the cost of maintenance of the said free library system." 
 
 The taxes in question being charges against property not actually used for library purposes, and which there- 
 fore is not exempt from taxation, are valid liens. The agreement referred to, however, makes the payment of these 
 taxes a city charge, to be provided for in the Budget. 
 
 126 
 
The water charges on this property for the years 1903 to 1910, inclusive, being, in part at least, for water sup- 
 plied to premises not actually used for library purposes are also valid charges. They are not specifically provided 
 for in the agreement of June 5, 1903, nor would such charges seem to come within the scope of the agreement dated 
 September 11, 1901. They are properly payable out of the rents derived from the property. 
 
 (2) Section 18, Block 5907, Lot 1. These premises are the Bay Ridge Branch of The Brooklyn Public Library. 
 Having been actually used for public library purposes they are entitled to a free supply of water, by virtue of the 
 provisions of Chapter 852, Laws of 1896. The assessments for local improvements are undoubtedly valid charges. 
 They apparently became liens in 1902 and subsequent years. The premises in question had, prior to the time the 
 assessments were confirmed, become part of The Brooklyn Public Library, the maintenance and support of which 
 the city, by the agreement of September 11, 1901, undertook. Furthermore, by the agreement of June 5, 1903, the 
 city undertook payment of these assessments as part of its maintenance and support of The Brooklyn Public Library. 
 Undoubtedly, under these circumstances, the payment of the charges may be made a matter of Budget arrangement 
 when the 1912 appropriation for the library shall be determined. 
 
 Section 18, Block 6114, Lot 37. These premises have constituted, since 1901, the Fort Hamilton Branch of 
 The Brooklyn Public Library. Having been actually used for library purposes, the premises have been entitled to 
 a free supply of water. The assessments for local improvements against the premises are valid and legal charges. 
 The agreements made by the city hereinbefore referred to are, however, equally applicable to these premises as to 
 the Bay Ridge Branch. 
 
 Section 18, Block 6118, Lot 3. This property, owned by The Brooklyn PubUc Library, the tax map shows, 
 is opposite the Fort Hamilton Branch and situated at the convergence of Fourth and Fifth Avenues. The charges 
 against these premises, as set forth in the petition, include assessments for local improvements, apparently con- 
 firmed subsequent to the agreement of 1903, and two small items of $14.95 and $20.70, respectively, set opposite 
 the years 1903 and 1904. The assessments for local improvements are, of course, valid charges and so it seems are 
 the two items above referred to, inasmuch as this property not being used for library purposes would not be exempt 
 from taxes, assessments or water rates. The charges, however, likewise come within the scope of the city's agree- 
 ment of 1903, and should be disposed of with reference to it. 
 
 I attach to the papers transmitted, which are herewith returned, copies of the agreements herein referred to, 
 together with other printed matter having a bearing on the subject. 
 
 Respectfully yours, 
 
 George L. Sterling, 
 Acting Corporation Counsel. 
 
 OPINION OF THE CORPORATION COUNSEL 
 
 APPENDIX 
 
 Under Agreement Between the City and The Brooklyn Public Library the Latter 
 Should Not Be Compelled to Pay Taxes and Assessments, Insurance Charges and Interest 
 ON Mortgages on Property Which is Unproductive. 
 
 Law Department of The City of New York, 
 Office of the Corporation Counsel, 
 Borough of Manhattan, 
 February 6, 1912 
 Hon. William A. Prendergast, 
 
 Comptroller. 
 Sir: 
 
 I am in receipt of a communication from D. Mathewson, Deputy Comptroller, dated November 3, 1911, and 
 enclosing a report on claim No. 62008 by The Brooklyn Public Library for the refund of payments aggregating 
 $45,749.36, alleged to have been made by the library for insurance, water taxes and interest on mortgage. On 
 December 14, 1911 the Deputy Comptroller forwarded a copy of the contract executed June 5, 1903, between the 
 City and the library, together with an amended claim No. 62006 filed by The Brooklyn Public Library. 
 
 These papers have been transmitted to this office for an opinion concerning legal liability of the City in the 
 premises. 
 
 On June 5, 1903, the City acting through the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, entered into an agree- 
 ment, imder seal, with The Brooklyn Public Library, by the terms of paragraph 4 of which the City stipulated to 
 "appropriate and pay for the maintenance and support of said Brooklyn Public Library, such sums as may be 
 requisite for the proper maintenance of the libraries heretofore under the administration of the Board of Directors 
 of The Brooklyn Public Library and of the corporation ' The Brooklyn Library ' above mentioned, such amounts 
 to constitute a City charge and to be provided for in the Annual Budget and Tax Levy of the City." 
 
 The agreement recites the existence of a mortgage not exceeding $165,000 on real estate of The Brooklyn Public 
 Library on Pierrepont street and Montague street; and the sixth paragraph of the agreement provides: 
 
 "For the ptirposes of this agreement, however, it is understood that any taxes and assessments upon any of 
 the property of said Brooklyn Public Library, insurance charges, interest upon mortgages above recited, and 
 the reasonable cost of repairs are to be regarded as part of the cost of maintenance of the said free library system." 
 
 127 
 
Prom the report of your auditor, it appears that the real estate at Pierrepont and Montague streets, formerly 
 belonging to The Brooklyn Library has been conveyed to The Brooklyn Public Library and that since 1903 The 
 Brooklyn Public Library had paid the interest on the mortgage for $120,000 on these premises out of the money 
 received from the rental of part of its premises, and that moneys have also been expended for fire insurance and 
 plate glass insurance. 
 
 The question is whether The Brooklyn Public Library now has a claim enforceable at law for the moneys ex- 
 pended by it for taxes, insurance and interest on its mortgage. 
 
 The agreement of June 5, 1903 imposed an obligation upon the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to 
 provide such sums as may be requisite for the maintenance of the libraries heretofore under the administration of 
 the corporation "The Brooklyn Library," but does not specify any definite sum of money which that board must 
 provide. The agreement is that the sum shall be "requisite." It is true that in paragraph 6 of the agreement it 
 is stipulated that taxes and assessments, insurance charges and interest upon the mortgage shall be regarded as 
 part of the cost of maintenance. From the report of your auditor it seems that such a stipulation was inserted in 
 the agreement upon the assumption that the premises at Pierrepont and Montague streets would, shortly after the 
 execution of this agreement, become financially unproductive. It now appears, however, that from the date of 
 the execution of this agreement till the time of the filing of the claim, the library was able, from the revenue accruing 
 from rentals of this property, to discharge expenses incurred for taxes and assessments, insurance charges and interest 
 on the mortgage. Nowhere does it appear, nor has any claim been made, that the moneys provided by the Board 
 of Estimate and Apportionment have not been "requisite." The library seems to have been maintained without 
 any deficit in its finances. 
 
 It seems to me that the moneys heretofore appropriated for the maintenance of the library, although not spe- 
 cifically applicable by the terms of the appropriation to the charges incidental to the property at Montague and 
 Pierrepont streets, may, constructively, be regarded as having been applied to such charges, and that the revenues 
 derived by the library from rentals, although in fact applied to the discharge of those expenses for which the city 
 by its agreement had assumed responsibility, may, constructively, be regarded as having been applied to the pay- 
 ment of those other charges for which the city has made specific appropriations. It seems to me that the plain intent 
 of the agreement was that the library should not be compelled to pay taxes and assessifients, insurance charges and 
 interest on mortgages on property which was improductive. Since the realty at Pierrepont and Montague streets 
 has not been devoted to library purposes at as early a date as was originally expected, but was still a source of revenue 
 at the time the library filed its claim with the Comptroller, the purposes of the agreement will best be subserved by 
 crediting the city with such revenues. The fact that during the years extending from 1903 to 1910 the library made 
 no application to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for specific appropriations to discharge the expenses 
 provided for in paragraph 6 of the agreement goes far to show the practical construction placed upon the agreement 
 by the library as well as by the City. I must advise you, therefore, that the library has failed to produce any evidence 
 that would tend to convince me that it possesses a claim enforceable at law, but that such remedy that it may possess 
 must be appUed pursuant to the provisions of Section 246 of the Charter. 
 
 I return herewith all papers submitted by the Deputy Comptroller with his letter of November 3, 1911 and 
 December 14, 1911. 
 
 Respectfully yours, 
 
 Georgb L. Sterling, 
 Acting Corporation Counsel.
