RADIO FEES DUE
NO GRACE ALLOWED BUSY SCENE IN POST OFFICE Clerks in the Auckland Post Office are not losing any time to-day. Radio licenses are due. There will be no grace allowed after to-day. This morning a queue of radio fans lined up at the counter in the chief Post Office with easliin their hands. Yesterday the queue was long and almost unending, and a stream of money poured into the till. It seems that a large percentage of Aucklanders own radio receiving sets. The number is not official, but it is thought to be somewhere about the 10,000 mark for the district. Many people were under the impression that the license fee had to be paid at the Chief Post Office, but this was not so; they could have been accommodated at any of the branch offices throughout the city. Some wives tried to take out licenses in the names of their husbands, but this is against the law, and a second trip had to be made. Mostly the license payers were youths and young men. As the half-yearly telephone duos are also due to-day the clerks are more than busy.
