August 1928: "Ranger Hand informed me that he was cutting the logs for a lookout house similar to the Cougar Mountain building at Grizzly Peak, and that he had an allotment of $350 to cover the cost of the material, it being planned to put up the house in 1929. After looking over the plans for the L2 and L4 type of house, Hand stated that he felt that the L4 type was fully satisfactory for Grizzly, and he would like to build according to that plan. Considering the favorable opportunity locally to secure lumber at very reasonable prices, it appears possible to build according to the L4 plan at a cost for material and labor of not much over $350. The house could be finished and occupied by July 15, 1929, which is an additional argument in favor of a change of plan. Later in discussing the possibility of a change of plan with Assistant Supervisor Roche, he stated that he thought he would want to build a tower on Grizzly in order to increase the lookout's efficiency."
