Postage Debate Weighs One Cent, Parcels Post, and Two Cent Plans
The article weighs whether a one cent postage or parcels post benefits the public or if improving two cent letter service is wiser. It argues against heavy subsidies to mail order houses and magazines, urging instead better local delivery hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and midnight collections. It notes two cent rates could suffice with improved service and cautions about lasting cost to local businesses from large city subsidies.
