progressed riitlier slowly, and as a result a considerable amount of 

 equipment had to be purchased. It is hoped that a substantial sav- 

 ing in construction costs will result when the transfer of sufficient 

 equipment and supplies for the needs of the National Forest work is 

 accomplished. 



The construction of improvements of all kinds during the fiscal 

 year comprised 1,082 miles of roads; 1,504 miles of trails; 722 miles 

 of telephone lines; IT miles of fire lines: 37 lookout structures: 44 

 bridges; 253 miles of fences; 382 dwellings, barns, and other build- 

 ings; 9 corrals: and 179 water improvements. Of these, 687 miles 

 of roads, 158 miles of trails. 84 miles of telephone lines, 124 miles of 

 stock fences, 10 miles of fire lines, 11 bridges, 31 w\ater improvements, 

 4 corrals, 3 lookouts, and 1 other structure were built in cooperation 

 with communities, associations, and individuals. 



The value of all imi)r()vements on the National Forests at the close 

 of the year constructed from funds derived from congressional ap- 

 propriations and the contributions of cooperators is estimated at 

 $12,956,829. Of this amount $10,602,906, or 81.8 per cent, represents 

 works of communication and protection; $2,007,244. or 15 5 per cent, 

 improvements used in administration; and $346,679, or 2.7 per cent, 

 range improvements. The lines of communication within the Forests 

 constructed l)v or under the direction of the Forest Service now 

 total 5.043 miles of roads, 29,419 miles of trails, and 25,031 miles of 

 telephone lines.
