File No. 1053.

5 May, '05.

Major W. C. Langfitt, U. S. A.,
Engineer 13ths L. H. District,
Portland, Oregon.

Sir:
The Board at its session on 1 May, '05, considered your letter of 22 April, '05, recommending an increase from $4,000 to $5,000 of the proposed appropriation for the construction of a keeper's dwelling at Yaquina Head, Oregon, Light Station, when it was decided to be inadvisable to increase the amount already asked for in previous annual reports. It was further decided that the plans for this work ought to be so scaled down as to make the amount required $4,000, as previously recommended.
The Board authorizes you to do change the plans for this dwelling as to make its cost $4,000, or less.
Respectfully,
???
Captain, U. S. N.,
Naval Secretary.
