New postal rates do not go into effect until Aug. 1, Rome Postmaster Leo Russell emphasized today.
Postmaster Russell said he had had many calls in connection with the increase since many people do not understand when they start.
First class mail will go up from 3 cents to 4 cents for three ounces, air mail from 6 to 7 cents; and postal cards from 2 to 3 cents.
But it isn’t until next month.
