CONTINUOUS GROWTH
RADIO INSTALLATIONS By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, May 22. “Broadcasting in New Zealand is making most gratifying and continuous progress,” said the Postmaster-General (Hon. Adam Hamilton), in declaring the radio exhibition at the Town Hall open to-night.. In 1925. when broadcasting was first instituted as a national service, he said, there were 3000 listeners. At March 31 last nearly 118,000 receiving licenses had been issued. It was computed that the number of radio licenses to population in New Zealand was 75 a 1000. It was estimated that one house in every three had a radio installed, and it might not be wide of the mark to prophesy that in a few years radio sets would be in practically every house.
