Dual Rate Vote Looms On Postal Increase Plan
The Carter administration seeks a dual rate for mail with a 13 cent personal stamp and a 3 cent higher business stamp. The Postal Service Board of Governors will vote on the citizen rate while discounts for zip code sorted magazines and newspapers are considered. If approved, the plan moves to the Postal Rate Commission for action, or automatic effect if the commission remains silent. Large rate hikes already in place push costs up for magazines books newspapers and nonprofit mailings. Bailor aims to make parcel post more competitive and raise special delivery fees by 62 percent.

Forecasters say unsettled, spotty shower activity will continue through the week as east and southeast winds bring tropical air, but sustained rain remains unlikely. Northeastern Frederick County benefited most with higher totals while other areas saw lighter amounts.
