Office of Light-House Engineer,

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT,

Portland, Oregon, Nov.??? 30th, 1874.???

To the Chairman of the L. H. Board
Washington D.C.

Sir;

I have the honor to transmit herewith a communication from R. A. Bensell, Custodian of Yaquina (discontinued) light station reporting the condition of the building and asking for repairs.

I endeavored to sell this station at auction about a year and a half since, but the highest bid was only six hundred dollars and as the Govt. paid $500.00 for the land and expended about $15000.00 on the buildings I withdrew it deeming the The price offered too little.
