Every man has a right to his
own opinions, but he has no
right to juggle the facts.
Use of ZIP Code will make it
easier to mail packages after
January IS. Postmaster Terrell
Graves of Coleman said today.
New rates and a new system
for identifying parcel post zone's
will go into effect on that, date
as1 provided in legislation signed
into law by President Johnson
on September 20, 196(1. the Post-
master pointed out.
The rate increases will aver-
age about 10 cents a parcel,
Graves said. Starting July 1, the
law provides for a scries of size
and weight increases on pack
ages mailed between first-class j
offices. Coleman is a first class ;
office. The size and weight im
creases will be in five annual
steps, the last coming on July
i, 1971.
Use of ZIP Code in the reci- j
pients adjetress will enable the
sender or a mail clerk to quickly .1
determine the proper zone, and
thus the rate, for the package, t
The zones Will be based, on the
distance a parcel travels between !
the 522 sectional centers in the i
country. Graves said.
By consulting a simple chart,
which is available at all post
offices, the zone can be readily
identified because the first three
numbers of the ZIP Code re- •
present the sectional center. This i
replaces a method in which a
directory often had to be consult-
ed^ locate the proper zone for,
cacii of the nation's 33,000 post
offices.
The new rates will range from
45o' cents for a thrct-.pouud parcel !,
destined for local delivery to 60
cents for the same parcel to j
zone 3 (150 to 300 miles) to $1.05
to zone 8 (over 1,800 miles). The
new zoning method will also ap-
ply to air parcel post, catalogs
and to publishers who pay zone
rates on the advertising portioi^
of their periodicals.
Graves noted that all parcels
mailed between post offices with-
in the Brownwpod sectional cen-
ter will be charged at the first
zone rate. There are 69 post of-
fices within the Brownwood sec
tional center
The new rates are expected to
provide an..additional ’$74 million
