Considerable attention was focused on the postal rate
increase of two cents per stamp for first class mail.
In addition to the price hike, a couple of other things
went wrong with the issue of the stamps. It was started
on a holiday, the government holiday of Memorial Day,
a Monday (one day earlier than the real Memorial Day
of May 30). Because Post Offices were closed three
days in a row up through the hike date.foiks using the
malls had no access to 2?stamp> for the three days.
As many found out, the Post Office does not trade in
stamps so the outdated 13? ones were usable only with
an additional 2?stamp. Then there were reports that
some offices ran out of 2? stamps. These were the parts
of the postal rate hike that most attention was focused
on. There were some more hidden goodies in the rate
hike. An Associated Press story out of Washington was
carried by the Brenham Banner Press revealed some of
them and what they meant. They are (1) an average 38%
Increase in the rent for lockboxes at local post offices
(2) a 5? minimum hike on postal money orders, to 55?
from 50? (3) a 20? increase for certified mall, from
60? to 80?. (4) a 90? increase for registered mail (5) a
75? increase for special delivery (6) a 10? minimum
hike, for insured mail (7) a 25? minimum hike for C. O.
D. mail (8) an average 29.6 % increase in rates; for
second class publications, magazines and newspapers
(9) an average 36.8% increase in fourth class parcels,
and (10) a 20.3% increase in third class ’junk* mail. Only
a scant few people believe that the new hikes will improve
service. The rest are hoping that the next boost doesn't
come this year.
