agree to furnish such facilities to Forest officers and to permit su 

 reasonable use of its poles or lines as may be determined upon be- 

 tween the applicant and the district forester at the time of filing the 

 application. 



Ileg. L-25. The applicant shall file, together with the application 

 as required under Regulation L-22, a stipulation which, upon its ap- 

 proval by the Secretary of Agriculture, shall constitute and express 

 the conditions under which the grant will be made. Such stipula- 

 tion shall expressly bind the applicant: 



(A) To construct its lines upon the locations shown upon the maps 

 submitted with its application and to complete such construction 

 within two years from the date of the grant of the right of way. 



(B) To operate its lines continuously after construction is com 

 pleted, unless upon a full and satisfactory showing that such continu- 

 ous operation is prevented by unavoidable accident or contingency 

 this condition is temporarily waived by the Secretary. 



(C) To pay annually in advance such charges as may be fixed and 

 required by the Secretary for power-transmission lines under these 

 regulations. 



(D) On demand of the Secretary to install at such places and 

 maintain in good operating condition in such manner as shall be ap- 

 proved by the Secretary accurate meters, or other devices approved 

 by the Secretary, adequate for the determination of the amount of 

 power delivered over transmission lines under grant, or any part 

 thereof; to keep accurate and sufficient records of the foregoing de- 

 terminations to the satisfaction of the Secretary; and to make a re- 

 turn during January of each year, under oath, of such of the records 

 of measurements for the year ended on December 31, preceding, 

 made by or in the possession of the grantee, as may be required, by 

 the Secretary. 



(E) That the books and records of the grantee, in so far as they 

 contain information concerning the power-transmission lines under 

 grant, or the power business conducted in connection therewith, 

 shall be open at all times to the inspection and examination of the 

 Secretary, or other officer or agent of the United States duly author- 

 ized to make such inspection and examination. 



(F) On demand of the Secretary to maintain a system of account- 

 ing of the entire power business, conducted in connection with the 

 power-transmission lines under grant, in such form as the Secretary 

 may prescribe or approve, and to render annually such reports of 

 the power business as the Secretary may direct: Provided, however, 

 That if the laws of the State in which the power business or any part 

 thereof is transacted require periodical reports from public-utility 

 corporations under a uniform system of accounting, copies of such 

 reports so made will be accepted as fulfilling the requirements of this 

 clause. 



(G) To protect all Government and other telephone, telegraph, 

 and power-transmission lines at the crossing of and at all places of 

 proximity to the grantee's telephone, telegraph, and power-transmis- 

 sion lines in a workmanlike manner, according to the usual standards 

 of safety for construction, operation, and maintenance in such cases, 

 and to maintain the telephone, telegraph, and power-transmission 

 lines in such a manner as not to menace life or property.
