HOUSE COMMITTEE APPROVES RAISE IN POSTAL RATES

WASHINGTON ID A House committee this week approved a boost in postal rates which the Post Office Department estimates would cost the average letter writ ing family an additional IO to l5 cents a month.
 The increase proposed by the House post office committee would hit hardest at magazines that car " lot of advertising and are sent through the mails.
 First class mail rates. now three cents an ounce. would 90 up to four cents Air mail. now 6 cents an ounce. would raise to 7 cents.
 Some COngressmen have said privately they foresaw little chance for an increase in mailing charges at this session. this being an elec- tion year.
 The committee okayed admins tration requests for increases on first class and air mail and on third class mail, principally ad- vertising matter Third class rates would so up go per cent.
 Five-Year Raise
 The administration also had sought a 90 per cent increase in second class rates. largely for newspapers and magazines, but the committee went further in this category. It approved a scale in which second class rates would go up annually for five years. result ing in an increase of about 90 per cent on the reading portion and l20 per cent on the advertising nl-tiOn.

Preliminary estimates for
March indicated that the value
of new construction put in place
this year is keeping pace with
record breaking levels of last
year, the Labor and Commerce
Departments have announced.
However. private residential
building during the first quarter
of this year showed a drop from
last year. Private residential
building during March was 6 per
cent below that of the CORE
spending month last year, but
exceeded every other March VOL
ume for previous years.
Value of all new construction
put in place during March was
I$2.98 billion and brought the
total for the first three months
of the year to $8.5 billion. These
are just about the same figures
reported for the corresponding
periods last year.
Decrease from 1855 in private
residential work and public in
dustrial work (Which also showed
"a drop were offset by increases
in commercial building. private
industrial construction, highway
work and public service enter
prise.
