A substantial postal de. ficit would result unless the in. crease in rates were made. He noted that the deficit accumu- lated by the Pot Office Depart. ment for the years 1958 to 1962 inclusive was $4,725,360.91. Mr. Denis also noted that the new rates were still considerably lower than commercial rates for comparable services, and were generally lower than rates charged by other postal adminis. trations such as the United States. Changes Effective Nov. 1, 1963 Registration -- present fees varying from 20 cents to 40 cents, according to the amount of indemnity requested by the mailer, were last set in 1951. . The new fees will vary from 35 cents to 60 cents. Special Delivery--the fee for letters was last set in 1939 at 10 cents. The new rate will be 25 cents. In 1946 a fee of 20 cents was set for parcels. It | will now be 35 cents. Money Orders--a new sched- ule of fees will be inaugurated | ranging from 5 cents, for or- ders less than one dollar, to 25 cents for those of larger deno- | minations. The old schedule, | set in 1949, went from 4 cents | to_25 cents. Changes effective April 1, 1964 C.0.D.--the new charges will , range from a minimum of 15 | cents to a maximum of 40 cents. ' The old schedule of rates, from 10 cents to 30 cents, has been iin effect since 1940. | Printed Matter -- the present rate for '"householder" mail (itehs which bear no other ad- dressing than "To the House- holder") is 1% cents for the first 2 ounces and this was last 'adjusted in 1960. The new rate "will be 2 cents for the first 2 ounces. ' The general rate of 2 cents for the first 2 ounces, set in | 1951, will be increased to 3 cents for the first 2 ounces. This rate covers such items as adver- tising material, unsealed greet- ing cards (including Christmas ' cards) and most boks, when in- dividually addressed. A special rate of 2% cents for the first 2 ounces will be usually circulars -- which are presorted by the mailer and made up according to postal re- gulations. These large mail- ings, prepared according to the conditions set out by the Post Office Department, require con- siderably less handling. It is felt that mailers prepared to do this pre-sorting, should have a preferred rate. Mr. Denis has also pointed out that with the increased costs of operating the Depart- ment and with the need for ec- onomy, it has been necessary in the last 14 months to withhold letter carrier service from areas which would normally receive it and in which it was possible to give a more economical service, such as group boxes. This has resulted in 20,000 homes not re- ceiving letter carrier service which would normally have done so. With the increased revenue from the revised rates, normal expansion of letter carrier ser- vice will be resumed and the 20,000 homes will be granted letter carrier service as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made.
