The rates are being mailed from the agency's central office in Raleigh, according to the Edenton local ESC manager, Mrs. Alice W. Bond.

For tome, the new schedule meant lower taxes, but others, specifically those who have overdrawn unemployment insurance accounts, the tax can go up to the 5.7 percent maximum.
