STEADY INCREASE
Radio-Receiving Licences In New Zealand A further increase in the number of radio-receiving licences in operation in the Dominion is reflected in the figures showing the position as at December 31, states the Postmaster-General, Mr. Jones. At that date, the number of licences in force was 312,750, an increase of 34,700, or 12 per cent., above the number in force at the end of 1937. New Zealand ranks very high in the list of countries showing the largest number of broadcast receivers in proportion to population, said Mr. Jones, an international table compiled from particulars as at the end of 1937 placing New Zealand in fourth place with 17.42 licences to 100 inhabitants. It was likely, however, that the Dominion now occupied a higher place, as today its density of receiving licences was 19.4 per cent., or 83 for every 100 households.
