Rate Increase On 4th Class Mail Proposed
An Interstate Commerce Commission examiner recommended a Post Office rate rise for fourth class mail parcel post and catalogs amounting to 88 million dollars annually. Increases would range from 35 percent to 1 percent, averaging 17.1 percent, with higher weights seeing smaller boosts within zones. Exceptions must be filed by Sept 28 with ICC hearings set for Oct 9. Postmaster General Summerfield had requested the change in 1958 to cover a 108.8 million dollar catalogues and parcel post deficit, up from 1957.
