Postal Board Approves Two-Cent Discount for Early Sorting
The board approved a two-cent cut to 14 cents for letters sorted by mailers before reaching the post office and offered similar cuts for publishers of newspapers and magazines that conduct preliminary sorting. Proposed across all mail classes, rates would rise on average 22 percent. President Carter endorsed a citizens rate while urging relief from rate hikes. Bailor said about 20 percent of first class mail would be affected and that keeping the 13cents-an-ounce rate might help public acceptance of cost-cutting efforts.
