rears on Receiving Set Fees.
Although 423,557 licenses for radio
receiving sets were issued by the Cana
dian government in 1929, only 369, 1892
were licensed during the first six
months of 1880, which is taken by the
Canadian authorities to indicate that
many persons are in arrears in paying
their annual 81 receiving set fees.
Since new sets and renewals should
bring the total we'll over last wears
the authorities were considering taking
action against a few delinquents to
make examples of them for the rest.
