Eggggggz Postage rate increases are upon us with a vengeance. The following
table shows the projeoted increases for materials being mailed at library -
rates:
Year 72 ?3 74 75 76 77 78 79 BO 81 ·
Step l 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 lC
First pound (¢) 6 5 7 Y 8 8 9 9 l0 l0
Each additional pound (¢) 2 3 3 3 Q 6 4 4 5 5
Until the present freeze goes off (or somewhere), we are in Step l. The
way it looks is: there will be a 67% increase in the first pound rate and
1dO% increase in the additional pound rate over the next 9 years. Look at
it this way: for each 5 pound book mailed by the library today the rate
