    ABBOT — With its neighbor — Monson — imposing a six-month moratorium against privately owned highways last fall and fellow Piscataquis municipality — Sangerville — following suit last month, town officials are considering whether they should do the same. The selectmen voted 3-0 on April 16 to contact Monson and Sangerville officials about advising them on enacting a moratorium of their own.
