RADIO LICENCES
PAYMENT BY INSTALMENTS (F.OJP.R.) WELLINGTON, Mar. 11. The introduction of a special card on which stamps may be affixed fcfr the subsequent payment of radio receiving licences was announced by the Post-master-general, Mr P. C. Webb, when replying in the House of Representatives to-day to an urgent question by Miss Mabel Howard (Govt., Christchurch East). She had inquired if the Minister would arrange that the payment of licences by pensioners could be made in quarterly instalments, in view of the hardship on such people in meeting the full yearly licence fee in one instalment.
Tlie Minister said that, on account of the huge amount of work that would be involved, it would not be possible to introduce quarterly payments, but in cases of hardship arrangements had been made for the acceptance of half the annual fee, and this facility would be available to pensioners as well as others. A special card was about to be introduced on which shilling stamps could be affixed throughout the year, and on the presentation of tills card at a post office with the requisite number of stamps affixed a radio licence would be issued in exchange.
