OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

May 12, 1906.

The Honorable,
The Secretary of the Treasure,
Sir:

This Department has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Treasury Department letter of May 3, 1906, No. L.R. 928119, asking permission for the Life-Saving Service to occupy the light-house reservation at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, for life-saving purposes, and further asking for the use of the buildings now there, by the Life Saving Service.

In reply this Department states that this matter was considered by the Light-House Board at its session on May 7, 1906, when it decided that it had no objection to the use of this lighthouse reservation and buildings thereon as a life-saving station.

This Department concurs in the Board's decision, and authorizes the use of this Light-House reservation and its buildings by the Life-Saving Service, in the manner requested under such conditions as may be prescribed by the Engineer of the 13th Light-House District, and with the understanding that should this site be needed again for Light-House purposes this permission may be revoked by this Department.

Respectfully,

[signature]

Secretary.
