fz WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 * CITE INCREASES INPOSTAL RATE Changes Become Effective This Week To meeet the increase in salaries of postal employes throughout the country] --approximating $68,000,000 a year--re- cently authorized by Congress to become retroactive January l--additional postage rates on certain classes of mail matter was imposed by the government, begin- ning April 15, the post office department announced this week. In order that the public may be thor- oughly informed of the changes in the rates and to avoid any possible confusion or misunderstanding, a statement showing the difference in rates from those now prevailing was authorized by Postmaster- General New. "So far as the rates on first-class mail are concerned," said Mr. New, "there are no changes whatever except in the case of private mailing cards, including souvenir post cards, on which the rate is increased from one to two cents. Postal cards issued by the government, however, will continue to be sent for one cent each, # Cite Increases "The rates on second, third and fourth- class mail have been increased in certain contingencies, but this increase is slight and will not work any hardships on the public. The excess revenue to be de- rived from such sources will enable the post office department to meet its obli- gations and at the same time provide in- creased compensation for its army of faithful employes." Other changes effective in the postal rates on April 15 are as follows: Second-class mail--newspapers, maga- zines, and other periodicals containing notice of second-class entry. The rate for the public is 2 cents for each 2 ounces up to 8 ounces and the fourth-class zone rate plus a two-cent service charge on each parcel over 8 ounces. This does not include certain increases in rates for publishers and news agents. Third class mail--circulars and other miscellaneous printed matter as well as merchandise. The rate is 1% cents for each 2 ounces up to 8 ounces. But the rate on books, including catalogs, of 24 pages or more, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants is 1 cent for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof up to 8 ounces. Fourth-class (parcel post) mail--the same matter, weighing more than 8 ounces, as handled in third-class mail. Limit of weight 70 pounds in first, sec- ond and third zones, and 50 pounds in all other zones. The present pound rates in the various zones have not been changed. A service charge of 2 cents in stamps, to be affixed to packages in addition to the postage, has been imposed for each parcel, except those collected on rural delivery routes. The act of February 28, 1925, offers a new and speedier service for parcel post which mailers may purchase at their own option. This new service Ys desig- nated a "special handling" service. Prac- tically speaking, this service means that parcel post is to be handled, not as parcel (OFFICIAL PUBLICATION) Report of the condition of Winnetka State Bank located at Winnetka, State of Illinois, at the close of business on the 6th dav of April, 1925, as made to the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illi- nois, pursuant to law. RESOURCES post is customarily handled, but is han- dled as first-class mail. Its particular advantage applies mainly to its handling en route on railroads and other trans- portation facilities between the post office of dispatch and the post office of desti- nation. It must be carefully distin- guished from the "special delivery" serv- ice, where the chief advantage applies after the arrival of mail at the post of- fice of its destination. For this special handling of mail a charge of 25 cents will be imposed in addition to the regular postage and 2-cent service charge. Provide Special Handling Mailers of perishables such as meats, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., will have, under the new law, the privilege of pur- chasing "special handling" service, to- gether with "special delivery" service, in case the mailers themselves consider that the commodity which they are mailing justifies the expenditure. If the mailer decides not to purchase the special han- dling and special delivery stamps, his con- signment will be handled as ordinary par- cel post is customarily handled. New rates for domestic money orders effective April 15 are as follows: Not exceeding $2.50, fee 5 cents, for- merly 3 cents; exceeding $2.50 and not exceeding $5, 7 cents, formerly 5 cents; exceeding $5 and not exceeding $10, fee 10 cents, formerly 8 cents; exceeding $10 and not exceeding $20, fee 12 cents, for- merly 10 cents; exceeding $20 and not exceeding $40, fee 15 cents, formerly $20 to $30, 12 cents, $30 to $40, 15 cents; exceeding $40 and not exceeding $60, fee 18 cents, formerly $40 to $50, 18 cents, $50 to $60, 20 cents; exceeding $60 and not exceeding $80, fee 20 cents, formerly $60 to $75, 25 cents, $75 to $80, 30 cents; exceeding $80 and not exceeding $100, fee 22 cents, formerly 30 cents. Money orders are not issued for more than $100. Registry Fee increased The minimum registry fee under the new law is increased from 10 cents to 15 cents on all domestic registered mail, including that of island possessions of the United States and the Canal Zone. For the present the increased rate does not apply to registered mail to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the Republic of Panama or other foreign countries. A return receipt for any registered mail will, upon request of the sender and payment of a 3-cent fee at the time of registration, be taken on delivery and returned to the sender. Heretofore, re- ceipts have been taken on request and returned free to the sender.
