| Notes | After the Second World War, the pace of logging in Oregon picked up. A number of timber companies were logging in the Siletz watershed and wanted to be able to ship their logs out of Siletz Bay. Siletz Bay seems to have still been in the Port of Newport’s district, so the request to dredge and maintain an 18-foot channel came from the Port of Newport. Once again, the request went nowhere. The subject line of the letter of transmittal is, "Report on additional information on improvements of Siletz River Bar and entrance, Oregon." It was submitted to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. "31 August 1948." |
