Report of Supervisors' Meeting. 449 



gested that each Supervisor make up a Hst of the number of fry 

 needed and send them in as soon as possible. 



The subject of Uses and Settlement was discussed. It was the 

 opinion of many of the Supervisors that legislation should be 

 passed whereby a permit could be made to operate for five or ten 

 years. 



Supervisor Lowell opened the discussion on Settlement. He 

 thought that it would be better to have the lines run out with a 

 transit although good results had been obtained with the compass. 



Meeting called to order at 9 a. m., January 28. 



The discussion of Settlement was continued. 



Supervisor Bushnell stated that oftentimes one man made sev- 

 eral applications, and several different tracts of land were listed. 

 He believed this to be undesirable, and thought a regulation or 

 law should be made to prevent it. 



In Superivisor Imes' opinion, it did not make any difference as 

 he thought that the quicker the agricultural land was listed, the 

 better it would be. 



Mr, Riley stated that the present policy was not to concern our- 

 selves in any way with the intention of the applicant, and that the 

 Service should not hesitate to examine a second application for a 

 man who is not satisfied with the first. Arrangements were made 

 whereby several men would be detailed to the various Land Offices 

 to obtain the status for all the Forests. 



After a discussion of Law and Accounts, the meeting was 

 closed by an address by Mr. Riley. 



He complimented the Supervisors on the work they had ac- 

 complished and emphasized the fact that the further progress of 

 the work depended to a larger extent upon their initiative. The 

 man of the future is the Forest Supervisor. The District Office 

 is an organization fori the purpose of assisting Supervisors with 

 their problems. 



Mr. Wheeler moved that the Supervisors express their appre- 

 ciation of the help given by the District Office, not only in the 

 meeting, but also during the past year. 



The motion was seconded and carried.
