Rural Mail Carriers Get Revised Salary Schedule
A new salary schedule for rural mail carriers takes effect from July, raising the maximum to 720 dollars a year on routes up to 24 miles. About 12,000 carriers on such routes receive the top pay, while others get reductions per mile below the maximum. More than two thirds gain 100 dollars annually, with the rest earning less, reflecting costs for equipment and a liberal allowance for shorter routes. The department keeps roughly the same budget as last year for new service.
