Acting Secretary of Agriculture Vrooman informs Secretary of the Interior Lane that the only permanent improvement currently present in the Lassen Volcanic National Park is twenty miles of telephone lines. He includes a diagram showing the area of the National Park, as well as the approximate location of the telephone line. Vrooman confirms that members of the Forest Service have been directed to continue to protect the park from fire or damage until the Department of the Interior can take over administration, and asks if there is an estimate of when this transfer might take place.
