The Engineer, Thirteenth L. H. District,
Portland, Oreg.

Sir:
Referring to your joint report of 4 May, '06, relative to the leasing or the selling of the Yaquina Bay, Oreg. light-house reservation, the Board states that on 12 May, '06, the Department addressed a letter to the Treasury Department, stating that at the meeting of the Light-House Board on 7 May, '06 the Board decided that there is no objection to the use of this lighthouse reservation and buildings thereon by the Life-Saving Service, under such conditions as may be prescribed by the Engineer of the Thirteenth L. H. District, and with the understanding that should this site be needed again for lighthouse purposes this permission may be revoked by the Department.
The Board therefore authorizes you to permit the Life-Saving Service to use this lighthouse reservation and buildings for life-saving purposes, under the prescribed conditions.
Respectfully,
???
Lieut. Col., Corps of Engineers, U. S. A.,
Engineer Secretary.
