Utt Seeks Savings From Private Stamp Vending Plan
Representative James B. Utt proposes legislation to let private operators run postage stamp vending machines. He says the plan could save the Post Office about 150 million dollars in the first year by reducing transaction costs and keeping stamps at face value. Ray Gaines of the Stamp Operators of America argues savings come from avoiding premiums for convenience. Utt, ill with flu, is backed by Conrad Epley in his release arguing the bill would ease post office crowding and facility expansion.
