Department of Commerce and Labor
Light-House Establishment
Office of Engineer, 13th District
Portland, Oreg., Sept. 24, 1903.

One Inclosures

The Light-House Board,
Washington, D. C.

Sirs:-
Complying with Board's letter of
9th September, 1903, File No. 1053,
enclosing letter from Mr. Edwin
Stone, Manager, Corvallis & Eastern
Railroad Co., we have the honor to
submit the following joint report on
the question of leasing the Light-House
Reservation and property at entrance to
Yaquina Bay, Oregon.
A map of the reservation, showing
boundaries, building, etc. is herewith.
The whole reservation was temporarily
transferred to the War Department
under authority dated Oct. 24, 1888,
Secretary of the Treasury, in connection
with improvement of this entrance.
Copy of this authority is enclosed. The
necessity for the use of a portion at
least of the reservation by that
Department has, apparently, not ceased
this portion should not be leased. The
buildings marked "A" on the map were
erected by that Department.
There would seem to be no
objection to leasing such portion of the
reservation as is not needed by the
War Department for a long term
of years, say twenty, under proper
restrictions and after due advertisement
to the highest bidder.
