Portland Lighthouse.
In THE STRAIT OF FLORIDA,
February 25th, 1854,

To the Editor gf the Press,
Is there any just reason why this fine light and
lighthouse should have been partially demolished?
Since began going to sea this lighthouse has been
raised in height some twenty feet, and much i'm
proved light was then placed in the structure The
only reason given for reducing this light and light
house is to save few dollars to the government of
the United States but what did it cost to reduce
this stone lighthouse? 1t must have cost quite a
sum of money. Would not fourth order light
burn in the same structure where second order
light had bsen used? And what is saved annually in
the running expenses by having the interior light?
Now, sir, If you will take the trouble To find out
what it cost to red this lighthouse and establish
the new light, and what is saved yearly by hivlng
this fourth order light and publish the facts u the
Press, the public will be very grateful for the H-
formation. Who Is the man that went against the
protestal1ons of the public and redueed this light?
/ can't think that he is Maine man. hear that
of our steamboat captains says IL was done for
"clear cussedness - and it would seem so. Many
times in the last forty years have passed in and
out by this light Many times has this / ght well
coined me to my native land and my home. Now
sir hope the public round about will not rest until
a bill passes Congress to establish Portland Head
light as il was. Congress will not refuse to pass
such bill after passing bill to pay six dolaIs a
day out of the public crib for private ERIK for
each of its Senators. ALVIN HALL,
