Sirs:

I have the honor to report that the fences and windbreaks around the dwellings at Yaquina Head Light-Station, Oregon, are decayed and beyond repair. The estimated cost of their renewal is $480.00, per detailed estimate herewith.

Authority is respectfully requested to carry out this work by hired labor and purchase of necessary materials under existing regulations. The cost to be paid from funds now on hand belonging to the appropriation, Repairs & Incidental Expenses of Light-Houses, 1907.

I hereby certify that, in my opinion, this method is the most economical and advantageous to the Government.

Respectfully yours,

S.W. Roessler
