charge OF this service.
Legislation is needed extending the
retirement system in the Lighthouse
Service to cases OF disability incident
to the work other than injury in the
line OF duty, already provided for. The
enactment OF a general civi1-service
retirement law covering all persons in
the Lighthouse Service not included
under the present law is also strong
ly recommended.
On June 80. 1919, there were 5.e67
persons employed in the Lighthouse
Service.
During the fiscal year 1919, services
in saving life and property were rem
dered and acts of heroism performed
by employees of the Lighthouse Ser
vice on all OCCASIONS.
The appropriations for the mainte-
nance of the Lighthouse Service for
the fiscal year 1920 are s6,690.430, be-
ing S225, sos larger than those for the
preceding fiscal year. In addition.
there are special appropriations ag
gregating s354,4o0 for various new

REPORT FILED
ON LIGHT HOUSES
SERVICE HAS NEARLY so THOU
SAND MILES OF LAKE, RIVER
AND OCEAN CoASTLlNE TO
PROTECT.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Lighthouses to the Secretary
of Commerce for the fiscal year end
ed June 80. 1919. has been published.
The United States Lighthouse Ser
vice maintains aids to navigation on
all coasts under the jurisdiction Of the
United States. except the Philippine
Islands and Panama. and also on the
principal interior rivers. This service
is charged with the maintenance OF
aids to navigation along 47.300 statute
miles Of ast line and rivel channel
The cooperation Of the Lighthouse
Service in the war activities OF the
government continued throughout the
year, nearly all of the lighthouse ten
ders and number of other units serv-
ing with the navy department and at
the same time continuing the work
of maintaining aids to navigation.
These vessels and stations were re-
turned to the jurisdiction of Light
house Service July 1. 1919.
Three important new light and fog
signal stations were eshablished-at
Lorain Harbor. Ohio; Sand Hills, Lake
Superior, Michigan: and Lime Kiln,
San Juan Island, Washington-and
three unmatched lights were placed
on dangerous shoals in the Caribbean
I Sea.
There was net increase Of 400 N
the number Of aids to navigation
maintained by the Lighthouse Service.
and the total is now 16,075. In
Alaska SO additional aids were estab-
. lished, making the total there ATS, of
! which $50 are lights and gas buoys.
The retirement law for the field
force of the Lighthouse Service was
put into effect in Novembeh 1918,
when sInds became available, and has
proved of great benefit. 1t is the
first retirement provision for civilian
service in this government and in
cludes light keepers, vessel employees,
etc.

large number of vessels during the
year, and telephone connections made
