BAND GOES OFF AIR
CHARGE IS CONSIDERED UNREASONABLE £2O A CONCERT ASKED The Auckland Municipal Band, which has been a feature of the broadcasting programmes from IXA, Auckland, wiU not be' on the air in future, unless the City Council and the Broadcasting Company can come to some agreement. For the past year the company has been paying at the rate of for broadcasting rights, but on the first year’s contract expiring the City
Council Finance Committee recommended that the charge be increased to £750, or at the rato of over £2O for each concert. The company feels that it could hire a band for. this price. The question of charge was referred to the Finance Committee by mistake, and has now been considered by the Parks Committee, which, apparently, has come to the same conclusion on the charge. Last year the company had also the right to broadcast organ recitals for the £3OO, but it considers organ recitals, do not meet the popular taste, and declined to have anything to do with them this year. .
