DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT January 25, 1926. Dear Mr. Burrell: I am returning enclosed your tentative report form together with the blank form which you enclosed on which I have had the quantities, viz., lineal distances, filled in, but I am not quite sure what you require under the column "Total Probable Quantities and Amount." Our method of estimating distance done is on a basis of the percentage done of each station either 20%, 40%, 60%, etc. While the total committment was $50,000, there was allotted $5,000. for the Spur Road leading from the Schooner Head Road to Champlain Mountain. The expenditures for both roads have been kept under one heading as we understood was the method required, the allotment having been as one item for Roads and Trails. The amount expended for the Spur Road , to wit: For cutting, $1,636.00 For 1st ft. of earth 1,335.40 For sub- grading 2,028.60 have therefore been taken for your tentative report as shown by the amounts filled in on the blank form. Sincerely yours, Mr. Bert II. Burrell, Acting Chief Civil Engineer, George B. Dorr 808 Couch Building, Portland, Oregon. Superintendent.

Dear Mr. Dorr: I am enclosing herewith a copy of the tentative report form such as is now being used in submitting the Chief Civil Engi- neer's monthly report to The Director. It is necessary, in order to submit a proper report, that we have the quantities of the various items of construction, and while your report as submitted on Form 10-88A gives the cost, there is nothing given which allows us to compute the unit cost to date, or show the quantities of the various items. If you will refer to the back of the sheet you will see that the progress chart cannot be completed without the quantities of the various items and the relation that they bear each month to the total amount of each class of work. On the progress chart we show the progress graphically for each construction item, using the total quantity as shown on the face of the sheet as a basis for the per- centage of the progress. Will you please fill in in the blank sheet enclosed the two columns under heading "Quantities" and the two items under "Total Probable", being construction items, and return the sheet to me so that I can substitute a proper report for the one which I was obliged to submit for the month of December. It is important that I should show a fairly accurate report for the month of December, 1925, inasmuch as it was the close of the half year and all errors and omissions prior to that date I am attempting to correct in the December report to bring it all up to date. In your January report, Form 10-88A in the present form will give us the necessary information if you will just simply add the quantities of the various units completed since the December report. Thanking you for your attention to this, and with the kindest personal regards, I am Very sincerely yours, Bert H. Burrell Mr. George B. Dorr, Acting Chief Civil Engineer.

Please return this c/f DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT March 11th, 1925. Dear Mr. Dorr: The Interior Department Appropriation Act for the fiscal year 1926, approved March 3, 1925, contains an appropriation of $1,500,000 which is immediately available for construction of roads in national parks under authority of the Act of April 9, 1924, the National Park Highway Act. Towards the construction of the Cadillac Mountain Road there is allotted $50,000, of which sum not to exceed $5,000 may be expended on the reconstruction of a spur road leading from the Schooner Head Road, or eastern section of the Ocean Drive, to the foot of Champlain Mountain, terminating in an ample parking ground for cars, and for the re- construction and construction of a road across the Great Meadow to the mountain foot by Sieur de Monts Spring. It is understood that no part of the funds authorized to be used on these entrance roads will be expended until proper right of way deeds have been tendered and accepted on behalf of the United States by the Secretary of the Interior. The work authorized under your $5,000 allotment will be confined to the roads mentioned above and shown in red on the blueprint map showing Bar Harbor Entrance to Lafayette National Park, 1925. Under program for handling road construction, approved by Secretary Work January 31, 1925, the road construction work in Lafayette National Park is author- ized to be done under your direction by force account. As it will be necessary for you to purchase machinery as outlined in your letter of March 6, it being under- stood,, however, that not to exceed $12,000 shall be expended for machinery and equipment without further authorization from this office.

Mr. George B. Dorr, The University Club, Fifth Avenue & 54th St. New York City. Dear Mr. Dorr: Mr. Dow has given the matter of the Mountain Road very careful consideration and has consulted me about it. We find that there has been contracted, which should be charged to roads and trails, including necessary material for repairs to apparatus and gasoline, etc, $3,605.50. We need to purchase one ton of drill steel, coal, tools, etc. amounting to $1,600. and if we got the compressor, that and the necessary drills will be approximately $3,700. making a total of $8,905.50. The balance available under the original appropriation is $12,046.39, under the new appropriation $25,000. making a total of $37,046.39, de- ducting the above items of $8,905.50 leaves a balance avail- able for roads and trails of $28,140.89. If we get the new compressor the daily payroll for the Mountain Road which we have designated "Road No. 1" will be $117.00 and for Road No. 2, which is the Approach DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -2 Road to Newport Mountain, $38.00. The payrollsfor these two roads are the smallest that can be worked to advantage. For Road No. 1 we have figured on the following:- One foreman; two tractor drivers; one compressor man, handling both compressors; one blacksmith; two truck drivers; one blaster; a time- keeper whoc should do additional work as may be found for him; four drillers and thirteen common laborers. For Road No. 2 -two truck drivers; one tractor driver; one compressor man for a short time; and five common laborers. The above work on Road No. 1 will make steady work from the time work can be economically begun to about the first of December. The amount estimated on a basis of the work on the Automobile Road to complete Section A which is the first 2,000 feet of the Mountain Road is $3,500. The amount estimated on the same basis to complete Section B the second 2,000 feet is $18,000, making a total of $21,500. or a balance of $6,640.89. The above estimates do not DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -3 include coping or gravel and the estimates are made very close, the cost will probably overrun. Setting aside $4,140.89 for Road No. 2 which probably will shape the road up, gravel it, and put it in a fair condition for use, other than putting it in a Park -like condition, leaves a balance of $2,500. to be used on either road as necessity may require. We are enclosing a copy of the estámates in detail for completion of Section A and also of Section B. Yours very truly, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 13, 1926. Mr. George B. Dorr The University Club 2 West 54th Street New York City Dear Mr. Dorr: In making a study with Mr. Dow of the roads and trails' work for the coming year we arrived at the following difficulty, in connection with the Mountain Road. The work now there is all drilling and blasting and placing the blasted rock. We have one compressor which will handle the blacksmith shop and one drill. To carry a foreman, a compressor man, blacksmith, tractor drivers and other over head will make the work extremely expensive for the amount accomplished. If we could have two compressors we could run four drills and make a good showing. The balance of the allotment for purchases of equipment on this road is $1201.00. The purchase of a new compressor is approximately $3,000. and two drills $350. We need at least $2150. more for these things. The allotment stated that nothing beyond this amount should be used without further authorization. If you approve of the DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 1926. Mr. George B.Dorr, Somerset Club, Boston, Mass. Dear Mr. Dorr: Mr. Hadley upon his return told me that it was your desire that I take over the accounts at the Park office. This I shall be glad to do assuming of course that my suggestions will have sufficient weight to keep the expenditures within the various classifications. I have, therefore, given them quite a study since he returned and have gone over the matters with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow. When Nowack made up the statement of the outstanding obligations against the Park on December 31st, he did not know that Mr. Hadley had become responsible for and paid various bills amounting to $727.00. He did know that Mr. Hadley had taken care of some of the accounts but did not but know/that it was done out of Park money, and because Mr. Hadley was away we thought it best to say nothing about it until we could get into communication with Mr. Hadley. This amount added to the statement he gave you would bring DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -2- the total to $1986.01. Since that time the outstanding obligations instead of being reduced have been increased so that they now amount to $2324.25. Some of these items cannot be vouchered, having been standing so long. The total allotment available for the Park up to April 1st was $26,580. There had been expended up to February 1st, $22,286.07 leaving a balance available for the various expenses to April 1st of $4293.93. Out of this amount the administration payroll is $1946.74; the laborer's payroll is $1200.00; the rent, gasoline, tele- phone and lights bring the total to April 1st to $3765.99, leaving a balance of $527.94 to pay the outstanding obliga- tions of $2324.25. I do not see how we can let any of the laborers go. They are men that must be had in the Spring. I plan on tying up all the cars except the one to haul the logs for the lumber. By this method I am in hopes to save $200. on gasoline bills. Douglass' is to devote his time to over- hauling the machinery for the Mountain Road. His payroll has not been included in the above figures because it is to DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -3- be paid out of the Mountain Road appropriation. I plan on giving direction that no supplies or pur- chases of any sort shall be made except the supplies nec- essary to put the Mountain apparatus in condition, your car having already been put in condition. Even with this we can pay no more than $800. or $900. on the $2324.25. There will be the special fund paid to Mr. Dow as before but this fund will be very small, not over $300. or $350. The next quarterly allotment will be $6430. plus $500. for some item I did not quite understand, making the total $6930. It will take all of this allotment to pay the usual administration expenses and such necessities as are absolutely required. So far as I can see from April 1st until July 1st no extra men can be hired in any capacity whatever and no new work undertaken. Before the beginning of the fiscal year you and I in consultation with Mr. Dow should make an out- line of work that will enable us to keep the allotment for the first quarter to as low an expenditure as possible so that we may avoid any future difficultios such as we are now facing. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT The only other saving that I can see is in Serems Rodick's salary. He is paid $50.00 a month. His work is so necessary that I think it would be unwise to discontinue it. If anything should happen to me he is the only one who knows where the papers are and the records, titles, etc relating to the Park. The Department has also reported approving the deeds of the White Lot, the Ogden Lot at Otter Creek, land west of Eagle Lake and the Camp Lot. We have been working on the Camp Lot but the title to the other lots must be done and will take a long time. For the next two months I can personally pay his salary, thus a saving of $100. The only thing that I can see to do is to pay what we can now, and let the remainder of the payments wait until after the first of April, and possibly some of them after the first of July, when the new allotment odmes into force. If this is allowable and can be done the expenditures, the employment of labor, the handling of the funds, and the accounts will have to be carefully considered in order to save out of the allotments enough to carry the work through for the next year without being in a worse position than we now are. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -5- If there was some way that this $2324.25 could be paid and we then live up to a hard and fast rule the keep within the allotments and within the classifications it would be a pleaire to look after the accounts. I am writing this now in order that you may have the fullest information. In the consultation with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow we could see no other solution. We are to consider the matter and meet again tomorrow or next day. If the above is acceptable and my suggestions will have weight I feel quite confident that we can get everything straightened out before April 1st, other than Hadley's expenditures which should be disposed of early in the summer. Yours very truly, P.S. In addition to the above there has been ordered tires and tubes amounting to $368.26. This bill is not yet due, the tires and tupes have not been received. More than half of the bill will be paidioutiof the Mountain payroll, the material being for the Mountain machinery.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 16,1926. Mr. George B. Dorr, The University Club, Fifth Ave. and 54th St. New York City. Dear Mr. Dorr:- I am pleased to get your letter of February 13th. It is good to know that you approve our calculations. I will at once get in touch with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow and ascertain what can be done for Arthur Hadley. I do not see how Mr. Ben Hadley can carry out his plan with reference to Mr. Graffam. The accounts for the next year will not allow it especially as it is possible some additional clorical help might be necessary for assistance to both Hadley and Nowack in case of rush or in case Mr.Hadley is away. We thought perhaps three months might be sufficient. I have gone over the classification of the appro- priation for the next year showing the amount that can be spent on each project. This classification, the long sheet, shows in black ink the various overhead expenses which seem to be absolutely necessary. The red DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -2 ink shows the balance available, viz. $2,000. more can be spent on the Auto Camp Ground. $1500. for the purchase of equipment. $100. for Insect control. $200. for the repairs of buildings. The remaining balances are available only for their various headings. You will see by this list that I have made Mr. Rodick's amount $800, $200. more than usual to reimburse me for what I will pay him for the next two months. The travel item of $400. will probably not be suffi- cient and some of the other balances will have to be used. The item of gasoline $1950. will probably be larger as a great deal of graveling will be done on the road be- tween the Harden Farm Road and the Otter Creek Road and the approach road to Newport Mountain. Otherwise this item should this year be materially reduced. You will notice that I have added $535. for the labor of an extra man which may be necessary. It will be seen that we must do the best we can to keep the expenses down. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -3 We have also prepared classification showing the amount necessary for each quarter. The unexpended amount available being the same as shown on the long classification sheet. Figuring on the basis of $33,900. to which has been added the available balances and the additional $100. to bring the appropriation up to $34,000. the amount necessary for each quarter is as follows: For the first quarter we will need $11,335.75. For the second $9,103.25. For the third, $6,485.25, and for the fourth, $6,316.25 leaving a two per cent reserve in Washington of $680. and retirement deduction of $79.50. Mr. Dow to have efficiently should have the selection of all men employed on the Mountain Road as he does on the Automobile Road. We have put upon the Mountain Road all that it will stand. As to the expense of this Mountain Road and the Approch Road we are preparing similar cost sheets to the other mountain roads in order that we may figure the number of men that can be employed and the time when the money will DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -4 be exhausted as well as the amount of work that can be completed. These statements we will forward to you as soon as may be. Yours very truly, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 11, 1926. Dear Mr. Dorr: I am glad to receive your letter of the 9th approving the outline as set forth in my letter of the 5th. We need to save all we can that the work as planned can be carried out and to do this extra help should not be employed the coming season except that which is absolutely necessary. In discussing the various questions with Mr. Dow and Mr. Hadley the question of the Spring arose. Would it not be well to take one of the rooms, that where the Spring Registry of Visitors blook is placed, have a sign on the door: "Rangers' Station", and -- inasmuch as Mr. Rich is not very active, could not he be placed in charge of that station? We are wondering whether any contract or arrangement has been made with Mr. Hass whereby he should be employed another year. Referring again to the last paragraph on the third page of my letter of Feb. 5th, with reference to new work and employment of extra men, I recall that you have already advised me that the college boys and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 2. extra crew previously employed would not be employed this year. From all I can learn around the Park office and elsewhere I feel that Franklin Anthony should be included in the same category. The reason that I mention it at this time is that I know this is the time of year when he generally makes application. I understand, however, that before any new employment is made or promised we are to discuss the matter. I feel a little uncertain about Arthur Hadley. I understand no arrangement has been made with him for work in the spring. He is now asking whether he can have employment. Douglass does not need him and we have no funds to pay him. I feel, and Mr. Dow agrees with me, that we should let him go unless you have made some agreement that we should live up to. At least we can tell him that he will not be needed in the spring. Please write me if I can be of assistance to you, in any other way, so that your attention can be kept on matters of greater importance. Very truly yours, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 11, 1926. Dear Mr. Dorr: Since I wrote you on the 5th we have been steadily at work studying over the accounts; and today we have reached what we believe is a satisfactory solution. I therefore wired you for instructions and upon receipt of your telegram we immediately began preparing vouchers and checks which I am enclosing herewith, covering all of the bills payable now -- both on the Park and on the Mountain Road -- with the exception of the per diem check of $72 to Mr. Hadley, which will come directly from Washington. We have prepared statements showing balances and how the various accounts can be finally disposed of before April 1. I am enclosing copies of these. One sheet, totalling $644.37, shows the Park bills referred to above; for these orders and checks are enclosed. Another sheet shows deferred payments all to be paid before the first of April, totalling $760.99 A third sheet shows the fixed charge items -- salaries, etc., totalling $2884.81. The total of the above expenditures is $4,290.17. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT GBD- 2/11/26. The amount on hand for expenses to April 1, 1926, is $4, 293.93. The accounts show, therefore, a balance unexpended of $3.76. I am enclosing also a sheet marked "Mountain Road" showing bills, orders and checks for the first four being enclosed. There are also shownoon this sheet bills, payments for which are to be made as they come due, amounting to $1082.02. This leaves a balance on the Park account of $305.77, which will be taken care of from the special fund. This covers all bills now due against the Park and all bills, so far as we know, coming due prior to April 1, except the $727 paid by Mr. Hadley and a small amount due Mr. Nowack which should be taken care of in some manner later. The only additional thing that I can note is the employment of Charles Hass. I understand that when he re- turns he will have to be placed on the payroll somehow. But he will, probably, not return until after April 1. If there is any part of this which does not meet with your approval, kindly let me know. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Page 3-GBD 2/9/26. We have just gotten over a bad snow storm which has kept the plows going night and day for about four days; and yesterday, Wednesday, a regular nor'easter set in continuing this morning with indications of a long storm. I am afraid this will make it necessary for us to discontinue our forestry work, temporarily at least, to be resumed at the earliest possible moment. Miss Oakes was in Bangor over the latter part of last week and Sunday, but returned Monday and is a great help to me on the Park work.

The activities of the park generally and the taking up of work under the road budget have com- bined to throw a greatly increased burden of ad- ministrative detail on the office. To accomplish the work involved the addition of a clerk account- ant to the regular force became imperative and has been authorized, creating an additional expenditure for administration during the year 1927 of $1,500, the amount here estimated for 1928. The ranger force as estimated for 1926 and 1927 consisted of one chief ranger and four rangers. The death in 1925 of one of these rangers left the force at one chief ranger and three rangers, who now are carrying on the work of protection. The salary for a ranger is $1,500, and with the maintenance of the force at its strength as stated, $1,500 the amount here estimated, became available for the employment of the authorized clerk accountant. Estim- Estim- Expended 01 (continued) ated ated 1926 1928 1927 In order to properly patrol the newly constructed road system during 1928 it will be necessary to appoint two temporary rangers for that duty. Their employment should be for four months. One other temporary ranger will be necessary for general protection work during the season. The total salaries for these temporary rangers for a four months' period amounts to $1,320. Heretofore, the mechanic for the Park has been employed on a per diem basis. This procedure should be corrected and a mechanic employed on a full time basis under appointment. The Park now owns much valuable equipment, used both generally and in connection with the road work, and the services of a master mechanic in charge of its use and repair cannot be dispensed with. His salary is estimated at $1,800. It is planned in 1928 to establish a storehouse, necessary to the right and economic use of material, and to put a responsible store-house-ma.n in charge of it and of the issuing of tools, repair parts for mach- inery, gasoline, oil and tires, etc. His salary is estimated at $1,200. The total salary increases, due to the creation of these positions is $5,820. It is estimated that of this amount $2,100 is chargeable to projects and will be pro-rated. The net salary increase, therefore, will be $3,720. It is estimated further that in following the above program a saving in miscellaneous labor will be made to an amount of $1,510. The total net increase under salary and wages for 1928 over 1927 of $2,210, is thus accounted for. Esti- Esti- Expend- mated mated ed 1928 1927 1926 02 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 0200 Stationery and Office supplies 150.00 300.00 300.00 A reduction of $150. is made in this item, recent experience showing the amount listed to be necessary but sufficient for present needs. 0230 FUEL 700.00 500.00 375.00 The experience for the present year (1926) has shown the amount appro- printed for 1927 ($500) to be inadequate to the proper heating of the park offices and other buildings, and a carefully cal- culated increase of $200, is regarded as ess- ential. 0280 SUNDRY SUPPLIES 165.00 300.00 The expenses of the past year show that a reduction in this item can be made and the sum of $165. seems sufficient. 0290 MATERIALS 200.00 335.00 440.00 A reduction is made in this item. The sum of $200. appears sufficient, but is a minimum. TOTAL SUPPLIES & MATERIALS 1,215.00 1,435.00 1,115.00 05 COMMUNICATION SERVICE 0500 Telegraph Service 50.00 50.00 15.00 A small amount needs to be allotted each year to cover charges incurred through use of the telegraph. The sum estimated is deemed sufficient. Estim- Estim- Expend- ated ated ed 1928 1927 1926 0510 Telephone service 210.00 135.00 130.00 The good administration of the park requires under present conditions additional telephone service, such ser- vice having been shown by experience to be requisite to economy and efficiency. The telephone company also has increased its rates. Total communication service. 260.00 185.00 145.00 06 TRAVEL EXPENSES 800.00 800.00 300.00 The expense for travel during the present year to conferences ordered by the Director, not being calculated in advance, has caused considerable excess of expenditure over allotment under this item for 1926. Increase under it to the amount shown was made accordingly in 1927. No further increase is estimated for 1928. 07 TRANSPORTATION OF THINGS 50.00 150.00 150.00 Reduction under this item seems possible for 1928 and is made accordingly. 10 LIGHTS & WATER 250.00 100.00 80.00 Under this heading no change is made from 1927 in water service. Greater light service has become necessary with the increase of clorical employment now authorized anf for the machine shop, carpenter shop, and other buildings through the winter. Under this item also is covered the electric power furnished to the recent- ly equipped machine shop and necessary to its operation. Estim- Estim- Expend- ated ated , ed 1928 1927 1926 11 RENT 1100 RENT OF BUILDINGS 1330.00 1360.00 1120.00 No increase is asked for under this item, the charge for rent of buildings occupied by the park under lease being fixed at $1330. 12 REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS 1200 BUILDINGS 1500.00 200.00 200.00 Small appropriations only have been made for repairs to buildings during the past several years, and work requiring to be done upon them has accummulated. To such repairs are to be added others necessary to preservation upon the important group of buildings included in the gift of Pryor's Island recently accepted by the Government. A careful estimate shows the sum stated under this head for 1928 to be required. 1201 GROUNDS 2500.00 1000.00 1000.00 The motor entrances to the park now under construction will involve when completed considerable expenditure on grounds including the preparation of motor parking spaces for use in connection with the mountain trails, The amount estimated is for these and for the care of the grounds surrounding the Park offices and administration buildings. 1210 ROADS 5000.00 2000.00 2000.00 Over six miles of constructed motor roads will be added to the Park during 1927 and will at once be greatly used. Their negessary maintenance and repair during 1928 will require the additional amount asked for under this head. Estim- Estim- Expend- ated ated ed 1928 1927 1926 1211 TRAILS 3115.00 2000.00 2000.00 There are in all over 200 miles of trails to be kept in good condition and an average cost of $10 per mile for this is unquestionably closely calculated. In addition to such repair, reconstruction of a permanent type has become necessary upon several of the mountain trails, on which destruction has been wrought by storms. The additional expenditure estimated under this item is for work of such character upon the trails most needing it. 1280 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT 2500.00 2300.00 1800.00 Costly machinery has been added to the Park's equipment and is still being added. The additional sum re- quested under this head, is estimated as a minimum requisite for keeping this machinery in good repair. Total repairs and alterations. 14,615.00 7500.00 7000.00 13 SPECIAL AND MISCELLANEOUS CURRENT EXPENSES. 1327 CONTINGENCIES 430.00 1385 INSECT CONTROL 100.00 In the event of an insect attack occurring in the Park it is necessary that a fund be available upon which to draw. $100 is asked. 1387 OPERATION OF PASSENGER VEHICLE 500.00 500.00 500.00 An allotment must be made for operation of the automobile used in the execution of diministrative duty. The period os use covers all seasons of the year. The amount heretofore allotted for this purpose is necessary but suffi- cient. 1721 OPERATION OF BOAT 200.00 200.00 500.00 No increase is asked under this item, which must however be regarded as a minimum. Total special and miscellaneous current expenses 800.00 700.00 1430.00 Stim- Estim- Expend- ated ated ed 1928 1927 1926 30 EQUIPMENT 3000 PASSENGER CARRYING VEHICLE 2500.00 The present passenger carrying ve- hicle of the park will have seen three year's hard, continuous service at the commence- ment of the 1928 financial year. It will be possible only at the cost of expensive repair to make it serve till then. The car is used at all seasons of the year and largely under difficult road conditions that impair its life. A now car is a necessity for 1928, and both economy and efficiency make it desirable that it should be of a more substantial make than those previously purchased. The exchange value of the present car at the end of 1927 will be very slight and it is estimated that the sum submitted will be required. 3050 OTHER EQUIPMENT 1500.00 1500.00 2500.00 It is estimated that to purchase in 1928 such new equipment as will then be needed the sum of $1500 will be required, this representing the estimated minimum of probably need. This estimate includes necessary garage and repair machinery, carpentry equipment, general machinery and tools. Total equipment 4000.00 1500.00 2500.00 32 STRUCTURES AND PARTS AND NON- STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS TO LAND 3211 RANGER'S QUARTERS 1500.00 1500.00 Ranger's quarters will be needed for control in connection with the Park motor approaches now under construction. 3212 FOOT PATHS 1000.00 1000.00 The amount estimated is that granted for the year 1927 and is necessary to continuation of the constructive work commenced Estim- Estim- Expend- ated ated ed 1928 1927 1926 3216 PIERS AND WHARVES 600.00 Wharfages are necessary and the sum estimated is regarded as a minimum for construction. 3223 AUTO CAMP GROUNDS 5000.00 4000.00 1800.00 The preparations of motor camp grounds, including necessary sanitary facilities, require as a minimum for 1928 the amount stated. The importance of this matter and the large travel to the Park now demanding such facilities meke it needless to urge the need of this appropriation. 3230 FORESTRY AND REFORESTATION 600.00 500.00 1600.00 $100.00 in addition to the amount allotted for 1927 is asked under this item in order to provide for the planting out of trees from the Park Nursery which cannot be transplanted later without much additional expense.

Mr. George B. Dorr, The University Club, Fifth Ave. and 54th St. New York City. Dear Mr. Dorr:- I am pleased to get your letter of February 13th. It is good to know that you approve our calculations. I will at once get in touch with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow and ascertain what can be done for Arthur Hadley. I do not see how Mr. Ben Hadley can carry out his plan with reference to Mr. Graffam. The accounts for the next year will not allow it especially as it is possible some additional clerical help might be necessary for assistance to both Hadley and Nowack in case of rush or in case Mr.Hadley is away. We thought perhaps three months might be sufficient. I have gone over the classification of the appro- priation for the next year showing the amount that can be spent on each project. This classification, the long sheet, shows in black ink the various overhead expenses which seem to be absolutely necessary. The red DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -2 ink shows the balance available, viz. $2,000. more can be spent on the Auto Camp Ground. $1500. for the purchase of equipment. $100. for Insect control. $200. for the repairs of buildings. The remaining balances are available only for their various headings. You will see by this list that I have made Mr. Rodick's amount $800, $200. more than usual to reimburse me for what I will pay him for the next two months. The travel item of $400. will probably not be suffi- cient and some of the other balances will have to be used. The item of gasoline $1950. will probably be larger as a great deal of graveling will be done on the road be- tween the Harden Farm Road and the Otter Creek Road and the approach road to Newport Mountain. Otherwise this item should this year be materially reduced. You will notice that I have added $535. for the labor of an extra man which may be necessary. It will be seen that we must do the best we can to keep the expenses down. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -3 We have also prepared classification showing the amount necessary for each quarter. The unexpended amount available being the same as shown on the long classification sheet. Figuring on the basis of $33,900. to which has been added the available balances and the additional $100. to bring the appropriation up to $34,000. the amount necessary for each quarter is as follows: For the first quarter we will need $11,335.75. For the second $9,103.25. For the third, $6,485.25, and for the fourth, $6,316.25 leaving a two per cent reserve in Washington of $680. and retirement deduction of $79.50. Mr. Dow to have efficiency should have the selection of all men employed on the Mountain Road as he does on the Automobile Road. We have put upon the Mountain Road all that it will stand. As to the expense of this Mountain Road and the Approach Road we are preparing similar cost sheets to the other mountain roads in order that we may figure the number of men that can be employed and the time when the money will DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -4 be exhausted as well as the amount of work that can be completed. These statements we will forward to you as soon as may be. Yours very truly, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 5,1926. Mr. George B.Dorr, Somerset Club, Boston, Mass. Dear Mr. Dorr: Mr. Hadley upon his return told me that it was your desire that I take over the accounts at the Park office. This I shall be glad to do assuming of course that my suggestions will have sufficient weight to keep the expenditures within the various classifications. I have, therefore, given them quite a study since he returned and have gone over the matters with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow. When Nowack made up the statement of the outstanding obligations against the Park on December 31st, he did not know that Mr. Hadley had become responsible for and paid various bills amounting to $727.00. He did know that Mr. Hadley had taken care of some of the accounts but did not but know/that it was done out of Park money, and because Mr. Hadley was away we thought it best to say nothing about it until we could get into communication with Mr. Hadley. This amount added to the statement he gave you would bring DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -2- the total to $1986.01. Since that time the outstanding obligations instead of being reduced have been increased so that they now amount to $2324.25. Some of these items cannot be vouchered, having been standing so long. The total allotment available for the Park up to April 1st was $26,580. There had been expended up to February 1st, $22,286.07 leaving a balance available for the various expenses to April 1st of $4293.93. Out of this amount the administration payroll is $1946.74; the laborer's payroll is $1200.00; the rent, gasoline, tele- phone and lights bring the total to April 1st to $3765.99, leaving a balance of $527.94 to pay the outstanding obliga- tions of $2324.25. I do not see how we can let any of the laborers go. They are men that must be had in the Spring. I plan on tying up all the cars except the one to haul the logs for the lumber. By this method I am in hopes to save $200. on gasoline bills. Douglass' is to devote his time to over- hauling the machinery for the Mountain Road. His payroll has not been included in the above figures because it is to DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -3- be paid out of the Mountain Road appropriation. I plan on giving direction that no supplies or pur- chases of any sort shall be made except the supplies nec- essary to put the Mountain apparatus in condition, your car having already been put in condition. Even with this we can pay no more than $800. or $900. on the $2324.25. There will be the special fund paid to Mr. Dow as before but this fund will be very small, not over $300. or $350. The next quarterly allotment will be $6430. plus $500. for some item I did not quite understand, making the total $6930. It will take all of this allotment to pay the usual administration expenses and such necessities as are absolutely required. So far as I can see from April 1st until July 1st no extra men can be hired in any capacity whatever and no new work undertaken. Before the beginning of the fiscal year you and I in consultation with Mr. Dow should make an out- line of work that will enable us to keep the allotment for the first quarter to as low an expenditure as possible so that we may avoid any future difficulties such as we are now facing. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -4- The only other saving that I can see is in Seremus Rodick's salary. He is paid $50.00 a month. His work is so necessary that I think it would be unwise to discontinue it. If anything should happen to me he is the only one who knows where the papers are and the records, titles, etc relating to the Park. The Department has also reported approving the deeds of the White Lot, the Ogden Lot at Otter Creek, land west of Eagle Lake and the Camp Lot. We have been working on the Camp Lot but the title to the other lots must be done and will take a long time. For the neat two months I can personally pay his salary, thus a saving of $100. The only thing that I can see to do is to pay what we can now, and let the remainder of the payments wait until after the first of April, and possibly some of them after the first of July, when the new allotment odmes into force. If this is allowable and can be done the expenditures, the exployment of labor, the handling of the funds, and the accounts will have to be carefully considered in order to save out of the allotments enough to carry the work through for the next year without being in a worse position than we now are. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT -5- If there was some way that this $2324.25 could be paid and we then live up to a hard and fast rule to keep within the allotments and within the classifications it would be a pleasure to look after the accounts. I am writing this now in order that you may have the fullest information. In the consultation with Mr. Hadley and Mr. Dow we could see no other solution. We are to consider the matter and meet again tomorrow or next day. If the above is acceptable and my suggestions will have weight I feel quite confident that we can get everything straightened out before April 1st, other than Hadley's expenditures which should be disposed of early in the summer. Yours very truly, P.S. In addition to the above there has been ordered tires and tubes amounting to $368.26. This bill is not yet due, the tires and tubes have not been received. More than half of the bill will be paid out of the Mountain payroll, the material being for the Mountain machinery. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT January 25, 1926, Dear Mr. Dorr: I am enclosing a letter just received from the Chief Engineer at Oregon in regard to the classification of the Mountain Road and also a copy of letter from Director Mather showing committment. I am also enclosing the Chief Engineer's tentative report together with blank report referred to by him. On this blank report we have filled in the quantities and given the information the Chief Engineer requires so far as we are able to do so. The appropriation of $50,000. was allotted as a lump sum; but $45,000 of it was for the Mountain Road; and $5,000 for the Spur Road leading from the Schooner Head Road to Champlain Mountain, etc. The items for the Spur Road have been estimated, no actual items have been kept separate, to wit, For Cutting $1,636.00 For 1st foot of earth 1,335.40 For sub-grading 2,028.60 $5,000.00 The entire expenditure has been kept as one item be- cause of the allotment having been thus made and referred to as Roads and trails. The tentative report by the Chief Engineer shows: Cutting 2,128.79 1st foot of earch 1,335.40 Subgrading 6,667.21 On the blank sheet which the Engineer forwarded we have deducted the amount used on the Champlain Mountain Road, as you will observe. We have then added the Quantities -- which we understand to mean feet. The total Probable Quantities and amount we cannot fill in. We do not know whether he means total probable quantities for the entire road, total or probable quantities for the $100,000 appro- pristion or the balance of the $50,000. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 2. We thought we had better hedge a little on this and get further information. Mr. Dow and I have gone over the matter with Carl and Mr. Hill. I have drafted and am enclosing a letter to the Chief Engineer in case you approve in order that you may not be bothered to dictate to a stenographer there. Very truly yours, Enclosures. Copy. the UNIVERSITY CLUB. FIFTH AVENUE & 54thSTREET Feb. 9,1926. Dear Mr. Lynam: I have your letter of February 5th. I will be a great help to have you look after the Park finances & get things on a safe and systematic basis. What you outline seems to me the best that can be done to straighten out the present situation. That Mr. Hadley had paid anything I did not know. I understood the statement Mr. Nowack gave me to cover all. Nor do I understand now how since December 31st the outstanding obligations have been increased, as your letter states, all truck & machinery repair items, apart from the park car, the Essex, should be charged against the road account & some part of the repairs of that, as used for road-work inspection, road and traisl planning & the like, should be met from it also; or as done to enable me to carry out such work the coming season. The road fund is now in the position of a continuing appropriation; that will go on indefinitely, so far as can be seen, until at least the Mountain road ( to Green Mt & Summitt) & approach roads are all completed. Theessential thing is to straighten out the present tangle, get things on a sound permanent & systematic basis. So, till that be -2- done, make every payment possible from that (i.e. the road fund) rather than from the Special administration park appropriation. As against the payments Mr. Hadley has made upon the Park account, there will be, as I understand it, some, though, slight deduction for the per diem expenses on his trip, Mr. Dow having supplied him by my direction with funds for these which Mr. Hadley told me in Boston had been or had been approximately, sutficient--so that what the Government returns to him as per diem allowance ($4.00 per day + less always than the actual expenditure0 can go to reimburse him, or for other payment, if such be more urgent, of accounts that have become difficult of payment through lapse of time. You are entirely right as to holding on to the laborers needed for the spring road work, & that of the coming year. That work in any case must go on slowly-- later, the Government will probably accelerate it by larger appropriations--but we need to retain good, & the best labor to carry it on. Next summer, as Hadley & I talked overin Boston, I want to arrange to have all park visitors & people seeking information go to the Publicity Building, where we can combine with the Town in giving information, etc. -3- leaving the office where the accounts are kept clear for these & business. And Mr. Hadley will use the roomat the back of the information building as ranger office & headquarters. As to Serenus Rodick, I regard his work for the Park as of essential importance &would rather increase it than dihinish it, could this be done. He should become familiar with the legal problems of the Park so far as you can show him. Yours sincerely G.B.Dorr. P.S. Where "personal" is written on a franked envelope a stamp is required, covering the frank, my understand is, & ensures also its privacy. G.B.D. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 11, 1926. Dear Mr. Dorr: Since I wrote you on the 5th we have been steadily at work studying over the accounts; and today we have reached what we believe is a satisfactory solution. I therefore wired you for instructions and upon receipt of your telegram we immediately began preparing vouchers and checks which I am enclosing herewith, covering all of the bills payable now -- both on the Park and on the Mountain Road -- with the exception of the per diem check of $72 to Mr. Hadley, which will come directly from Washington. We have prepared statements showing balances and how the various accounts can be finally disposed of before April 1. I am enclosing copies of these. One sheet, totalling $644.37, shows the Park bills referred to above; for these orders and checks are enclosed. Another sheet shows deferred payments all to be paid before the first of April, totalling $760.99 A third sheet shows the fixed charge items -- salaries, etc., totalling $2884.81. The total of the above expenditures is $4,290.17. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT GBD- 2/11/26. The amount on hand for expenses to April 1, 1926, is $4, 293.93. The accounts show, therefore, a balance unexpended of $3.76. I am enclosing also a sheet marked "Mountain Road" showing bills, orders and checks for the first four being enclosed. There are also shownson this sheet bills, payments for which are to be made as they come due, amounting to $1082.02. This leaves a balance on the Park account of $305.77, which will be taken care of from the special fund. This covers all bills now due against the Park and all bills, so far as we know, coming due prior to April 1, except the $727 paid by Mr. Hadley and a small amount due Mr. Nowack which should be taken care of in some manner later. The only additional thing that I can note is the employment of Charles Hass. I understand that when he re- turns he will have to be placed on the payroll somehow. But he will, probably, not return until after April 1. If there is any part of this which does not meet with your approval, kindly let me know. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Page 3-GBD 2/9/26. We have just gotten over a bad snow storm which has kept the plows going night and day for about four days; and yesterday, Wednesday, a regular nor'easter set in continuing this morning with indications of a long storm. I am afraid this will make it necessary for us to discontinue our forestry work, temporarily at least, to be resumed at the earliest possible moment. Miss Oakes was in Bangor over the latter part of last week and Sunday, but returned Monday and is a great help to me on the Park work. Very truly yours, AHL-0 Copy. February 13th, 1926 The University Club. Fifth Avenue &54th Street. Dear Mr. Lynam. I have received today your two letters of the 11th. I have already signed and remailed to the office the checks and vouchers. I am indeed glad to get things worked out, & calculated out, upon so satisfactory & thorough a basis. It is a great help. As to Charles Hass, I was in the West when he decided to go to New York for the winter; had he stayed I had intended to find work for him on the road--forestry. His work at the Spring & great interest in looking after the visitors who come to it as a park entrance feature, make hims work valuable in the Season When he returns, work on the road can be found for him till he S shall be needed at the Spring. Frank Anthony I did not intend to employ again this season. He does not fit into our present needs, as I saw last wummer. For John Rich, suitable employment can be found but I am doubt- ful whether he would be helpful at the Spring. I hade thought of him in relation to Pryor's Island, of which I want to make a feature next summer as a park headquarters in the contact with the sea. But of this we shall have time to talk. 2- For Arthur Hadley have no place in the limited administration list but it would be well to make certain we could not use him to advantage in connection with the road work. He has a good knowledge of machinery up to a certain point, beyond which he does not go; he is careful in driving & in other ways, & keeps his head. But what work or place can be found for him I do not feel qualified to say. You & Mr. Dow must use. your judgment. It is a road-employment matter Mr. Hadley arranged to keep him along through the winter on a one week a month employment basis as you know, thinking he would be needed, or be valuable when road work & use of machinery started in the Spring, but I had no talk with him myself. Mr. Hadley, when he met me in Boston, spoke of arranging perhaps to employ Graffam on work around the office rather than on the truck. He lives handily near, & seems to be dependable within his limits; I also want to keep things more orderly than in the past; and except in Summer we need some one dependable for the fires, etc. But whether he is the right person for this, or whether the arrangement as a permanent one is the best that can be made, I do not knowl I have not yet got in touch with Mr. Bartlett but plan to do so the earliest I can next week. In going over your deed with the blue print I found what seemed to me an obvious error in description on the third line from the bottom & on the last dine- the same repeated- of the first sheet, where the descrip- tion reads, starting from the S.E.corner of Frazier's Creek, 3. and going thence south & east to a post "in the East line of land now or formerly " " of the Gouldsboro Land Improvement Co." It must be the West line; on the East that land is bordered by the sea, Unless I hear from you to the contrary I will change the deed accordingly in that particular when I hand it and the copies over. yours truly, George B.
