and so on, 3 cents or 5 cents, (according as the letter is paid or unpaid), being charged for every additional ½ oz., or fraction of a ½ oz.

Letters addressed as above which are only partially prepaid, are to be rated as if wholly unpaid, credit being given, however, for the amount prepaid thereon. Thus, if a letter weighing more than ½ an oz., but less than 1 oz., and liable to two rates (equal to 10 cents) is prepaid only 3 cents, it is subject to a further charge of 7 cents.

The charge on local or drop letters is one cent for each letter, which must be prepaid by stamp.
