Canadian Licenses

Hii Canadian Government is in rerecipt of more than a quarter of a million dollars as the contribution of listeners to the Federal coffers through the medium of their one-dollar tax. though it is believed that this by no means represents the number of radio sets that are in operation throughout the country, owing to the belief that many are being used for which no license fee has been paid, in some instances owing to ignorance of the Govyernment requirements as to registration. It is intimated that in the very near future the annual "drive" and investigation of license certificates will be instituted, with a view to having the records brought up-to-date. The funds derived from the payment of this tax are applied to improvement of the radio service, one of the branches of the Government service being the operation of radio interference cars, manned by experts charged with the duty of investigation of local sources of interference. —
