Letter postage is less for additional ounces

Many customers mailing heavy envelopes are not aware that postage is only 13 cents for each additional over one ounce, officer in charge Donald Graves of

Milford said today. Spot checks of large envelopes deposited in the Milford Post Office indicate that families are often using two or more 15-cent

stamps in mailing items weighing over one ounce. OSI Graves finds. Postal rates effective May 29 call for 15 cents for one ounce or less and 13 cents for each additional ounce through 12 ounces. Because many families have a surplus of 13 cent stamps on hand. OSI Graves suggests that in addition to matching them with two-cent stamps, they may be used for mailing large envelopes or small packages weighing more than one ounce. Beyond 12 ounces, first-class mail is called priority mail Packages weighing up to 70 pounds can be mailed. Within a radius of 600 miles of Milford priority packages should be delivered the next business day. With the exception of a few distant areas, there is second-day service within the U. S. for priority packages. Priority mail rates for a five pound package range from $2.72 for distances of up to 300 miles to $4.83 to the most distant cities. For detailed rate information, customers can call the post office. BOOKED AT J AU. Leonard Eppert, 50, r 1 Syracuse, was booked at the Kosciusko County jail Monday, July 24, on a body attachment (warrant) which was issued from Kosciusko Superior Court. He was later released Monday on the order of Judge Robert Burner.
