was another beautiful day.
The U. S. Postal Service,
overrulling the independent
Postal Rate Commission for the
first lime, announced Wednesday
it will raise rates for a first-class
letter by 2 cents to 20 cents. The
new rate will take effect Nov. 1st.
The Postal Service also raised
rates of post cards from 12 cents
to 13 cents and imposes rate
hikes throughout most of the
postal schedule. The new rate
was immediately challenged in
the courts by the National
Association of Greeting Card
Publishers whose members will
be hit especially hard because the
increase comes just before the
Christmas mailing season.
If federal income taxes are
withheld from your paycheck,
you can expect a modest increase
in take-home pay, thanks to the
first installment of President
Reagan’s three year 25% tax
reduction for individuals. Most of
us won't be able to tell much
difference until the next step
becomes effective.
