Sir :-iu reply to your letter, have to
inform you of the difference between
an g unpaid rate " and IS prepaid rata"-
Nowhere in the Rew postal code is the Gun
paid rate on mail matter defined, except
in section 152. It is there stated to be
double the "prepaid rate" on matt r
which, inadvertently, reaches its des;ina-
ton without prepayment. It cannot tie
held that this section only applies Ia mat
ter entirely unpaid, because 1t does not say
50, and until further notice is had, it is
necessary that matter having one full rate
prepaid theron, flower weight, be forwarded
to It's destination with the 1inpo5d por-
ton rated up al dou5le the prepaid rate -
that is, letter having one three cent stamp
thereon, weighing over one half If an
ounce, and less than one ounce, should he
forwarded, marked :" 8 cents due
