Among his reasons were, {\textquotedblleft}. . . that during the 10-year period from 1923 to 1933 the water-borne commerce in and out of the Siletz River amounted in value to more than 4 {\textonehalf} million dollars, consisting of rafted logs and fish; that during the calendar year 1934 to August 31, 52 log rafts crossed out over the bar with a total of 13,544,000 feet of logs; that during the fishing season there are between 20 and 30 small vessels operating out of this port, . . . that during 1934 the Yaquina Bay Station had 11 calls for assistance from Taft and vicinity.{\textquotedblright} Despite all these good reasons, the expansion of the Coast Guard {\textquotedblleft}would not be in accord with the financial program of the President,{\textquotedblright} and was not recommended to go further.
