Post Office at Sebasco Threatened with Abolition

The Independent notes a proposal by the Post Office Department to abolish the Sebasco office and abandon the Phippsburg mail route. Sebasco, about 15 years established, handles roughly $1500 in annual business and serves a growing district including a developing summer resort area. Abolishing the office would hinder growth and urban development, prompting concern that the department should not reverse progress.
