Change in Postal Rates
Postmaster S. NJ. Cowles Of the
kensington office stated this morn
ing that many Of the residents of
the town have only . vague idea of
the changes that have been made in
the postal rates and therefore. he
has prepared brief report concern
ing the changes.
Under the new law enacted by the
last Congress and made effective
July l, 1925. new service was Great
ed with reference particularly to the
expeditions handling and delivery Of
parcel post. While this new service
is called special delivery" it has
the effect of making all classes of
mail except first. namely the second
class mail, the third class mail and
the fourth class mail. All have the
same expeditions treatment as first
class mail in transit, plus special de-
livery. at the office of the addressee
ny marking the same special de-
livery" and placing on such mail the
following postage in addition to the
regular postage. namely: Is cents
on matter not weighing more than
two pounds: IS cents on matter
weighing more than two pounds but
not more than ten pounds and IS
cents on matter weighing more
than 10 pounds.
1t Is necessary to put on the addi-
tional postage as stated above and
mark It special delivery" II is a
combination of the former special
handling service ana the special de-
livery service. 1t will be seen that
the combined service now is cheaper
than the sum of the cost of the two
former services.
Mallers desiring special handling
service in transit without special de-
livery at the office of the addressee
may. If they desire. secure this ser
vice at the following rates: 10 cents
on parcels weighing not more than
two pounds: Il cents on parcels
weighing more than two pounds
but not more than ten pounds and
30 cents on parcels weighing more
that ten pounds.
There is no special delivery now
which does notN carry with It also
special handling in transit so that
IL the mailer purchases special de-
livery service now as above specified
he thereby secures also specia,
handling service,
