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

Sirs: I have the honor to ask that authority be given for completing repairs at Cape Foulweather Light Station, Oregon, for which detailed estimates are submitted herewith, on form 83, the total amounting to $643.00 to be paid from Repairs, 1895. The front of the dwelling has become so rotten that the rain leaks in around the window casings and cornerboards during every storm, and has already done much damage to the plastering, upon examination it was found that many of the studs and the floor joists near the wall have decayed and the rustic siding is in bad condition. It is proposed to renew the front of the dwelling and instead of the rustic covering to use cedar shingles. The plastering of the front walls inside will also have to be renewed, new window casings put on, and the sash and door refitted. The front rooms of

this dwelling, on account of the exposure, are useless to the keepers in bad weather, on account of the fire-places not giving out sufficient heat, the rooms are damp and cold and remain so, much of the winter, crowding the families into the rear rooms. Two small furnaces located in the front of the cellars will be a great improvement and aid in keeping the cellar and rooms dry. The total cost of these changes and repairs will be about $550.00. The sewerage from the kitchens to the cesspool is in very bad condition and to put them in good order will cost about $15.00. The footwalks around the dwellings, tower, etc. require repairs, and the roof of the work room of the tower needs some soldering down. The estimate cost for this is $33.00. The barn is too small for the accommodation of the wagons and utensils of the station, and it is proposed to add a small wagon shed that will cost $30.00, and give more room. The road leading from the station requires a new bridge

and the fence near the bluff will have to be slightly changed, the cost of all this will be $15.00. Respectfully yours,

Jose Pool
