larker said. “A slovj By DIANA SULTENFUSS
ndependentoffc IT „ Battalion Reporter
Lirement isn’t thatr i The U S - Postal Service increased postage
idinv to the sanJ to [^ cents a ^ etter anc ^ 12 cents for postcards
me hut the settiJg innin g this week and a locaI postmaster
‘predicts a request for another increase within a
.year.
Er The increase was a result of rising inflation,
^ College Station Postmaster C.L. Matcek said.
w| “Everything we use, both supplies and ser-
|yites, has gone up tremendously. The price of
■soline has at least doubled since our last rate
Brease three years ago,” Matcek said.
*||‘Tin afraid we’ll have to ask for another raise
wljtbin a year because increasing inflation will
Ht this one up,” he said.
| “It seems high to send a letter to Bryan for
18 cents,” he said. “But people can also send a
letter to Hawaii or Alaska for the same price. ”
James Nix, window technician at the main
Bryan Post Office, said the postal service feels
it needs 20 cents as the new postal rate. “But I
don’t foresee that getting through anytime
soon,” he said. “Maybe next year.”
New purple non-denominational “B”
stamps were sold beginning March 16 to allow
distribution of stamps to post offices in advance
of the Postal Service Board of Governor’s deci
sion on the rate change, Matcek said.
“Then no matter what the board decides,
the post office will have stamps on hand for the
change,” he said. “You never know until the
last minute what the new rate will be. The
board may not grant the entire increase.”
The “B” stamps are only for mail within the
United States. Foreign countries will not
accept them because the stamps are non-
denominational.
Both Matcek and Nix said there may be
problems in vending the new purple stamps.
The stamps are only printed in sheets, not in
coils.
“We’ll probably have to package them and
sell them in the vending machines in packets of
five or so,” Nix said.
Nix said it will also be difficult to sell the
remaining 15-cent stamps.
The last rate increase was in May 1978. At
that time, the orange “A” stamp was issued,
Nix said.
