Letters For Local
Delivery Will Be
Carried For 2 Cents
New Postage Kate Hecomes Kf-
fevtive Saturday. Authorities
Helieve Revenue Will 15c
Increased
The recent nrder for a two-cent
postage .rate, on "local maii will be
come effective mi Saturday, according
to an announcement by postal au
thorities. .
T. 1.. (ireen, local postmaster,
stated that any letter which is sent
to any person getting his mail at
the local post office, either in box,
by carrier or rural carrier, would be
carried for. two cents. Any mail
going from the local post officer. 'and
through another post 'office will have
to have the usual three-cent postage.
It is the belief of postal authorities
that this new rate, will increase post
age revenue, and then, too, the prin
cipal involved is that it does not seem
that a letter beinb delivered, to a
neighbor should cost as much as one
mailed to a city- thousands of miles
nwav, it was explained.
