Letter to the Editor
Dear Friends:
I wish to take this opportunity
to thank you for the two gratis sub
scriptions of the Kodiak Mirror
which you so kindly send out to the
Mission Homes each week. We ap
preciate every good deed that is
done for the boys and girls and
the people who have the responsi
bility of caring for them.
May 1963 be a real good year
for all the folks concerned with
the Island Publishing Co.
Sincerely yours,
William W. Stone,
Superintendent
Postal Receipts —
(Continued From Page 1)
postmaster has compiled receipt
figures from 1956 to date. The
chart follows:
Year Receipts
1956 $45,440
1957 49,676
1958 51,757
1959 42,114
1960 47,766
1961 50,923
1962 59,783
The big drop in revenues shown
in 1959 needs explaining, Post
master Lamme said. In that year
postage rates were raised, but such
increases in sales are not allowed
in computing the status of a post
office. After the raise the depart
ment began allowing 82 per cent
of sales only, so while part of the
drop would be due to economic
conditions, including reductions in
forces at the adjacent naval sta
tion, the postmaster believes the
82per-cent formula is unrealistic
for the Kodiak office and that part
of the drop is due to that factor.
AU the figures above from 1959
on are adjusted figures to deduct
the increase due to the rate raise.
For instance, actual sales and box
rents for the Kodiak office in 1962
were $73,806, but this figure can
not be used due to the formula. A
new formula will go into effect for
the new increase this year, the
postmaster said. The local office
must maintain sales of $40,000 an
nually to keep its first class status
and Kodiak is one of the six first
class offices in Alaska, he added.
