order or other advertisement, required to be published by law or by the

order of any court, or of the clerk of a court, to twenty-nine cents per

line of a column width not less than ten pica ems, provided that in

computing such charge per line the line shall average at least five

words for each insertion in newspapers having a circulation of less than

two thousand five hundred; twenty-nine and one-half cents per line for

newspapers having two thousand five hundred or more circulation and less

than five thousand; thirty and one-half cents per line for newspapers

having five thousand or more circulation and less than seven thousand

five hundred; thirty-one and one-half cents per line for newspapers

having seven thousand five hundred or more circulation and less than ten

thousand; thirty-two and one-half cents per line for newspapers having

ten thousand or more circulation and less than fifteen thousand; and

one-half cents for the initial fifteen thousand circulation, for each

additional five thousand circulation up to thirty-five thousand

circulation and one and one-half cents per line for each additional five

thousand possessed by a newspaper. To all of the above rates nine cents

per line shall be added to the initial insertion charge of each separate

advertisement. To all of the above rates for the initial insertion eight

cents per line shall also be added for tabular matter or intricate

composition. In reckoning line charges allowance shall be made for date

lines, paragraph endings, titles, signatures and similar short lines as

full lines where the same are set to conform to the usual rules of

composition. Display advertising shall be charged agate measurement

section must be established at least one year and entered in the post

office as second class matter.
