Maine towns press for new post offices in relief bill
Farmington Freeport Kennebunkport Rangeley and Norway urge Senator Frederick Hale to secure new post offices. Kennebunkport appears likely if the relief bill passes while Rangeley seeks a new office and airmail extension. Bar Harbor has no extra money for airmail.
