1 For administrative expenses of Bureau of Public Roads and Fore.st Service, for purchase of equipment, 

 and for increasing apportionment to States. 



Section 7 of the act of February 28, 1919, authorized the Secretary 

 of War in his discretion to transfer to the Department of Aoricui- 

 ture surplus war materials, equipment, and supplies suitable for use 

 in road improvement. Ten per cent of the amount so transferred was 

 made available in the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture for 

 use in the National Forest road work. Wliile only a very small 

 amount of road ec^uipment, material, and supphes has been received, 

 it is expected that within the coming year great assistance will be 

 given the National Forest work by the transfer of material which 

 woukl otherwise have to be purchased. 



The new construction of improvements of all kinds comprised 328 

 miles of roads, 833 miles of trails, 885 miles of telephone lines, 78 

 miles of fire lines, 35 lookout structures, 35 bridges, 284 miles of 

 fences, 510 dwelhngs, barns, and other buildings, 12 corrals, and 202 

 water improvements. The above figures include 203 miles of roads, 

 96 miles of trails, 110 miles of tele])hone lines, H8 miles of stock 

 fences, 6 miles of fire lines, 1 bridge, and 1 water improvement built 

 in cooperation with communities, associations, and individuals. 



The value of all improvements on the National Forests at the close 

 of the year constructed from funds derived from congressional a]')pro- 

 priations and the contributions of cooperators is estimated at 

 $8,703,736. Of this amount, $6,460,014, or 74.3 per cent, repre- 

 sents works of communication and protection; $1,935,451, or 22.2 

 per cent, improvements used in administration, and $302,271, or 3.5 

 })er cent, range improvements. The lines of communication within 

 the Forests constructed by or under the direction of the I-'orest 

 Srevico now total 3,620 mile> of roads, 26,840 miles of trails, and 

 254,00 miles of telephone lines.
