58 NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL. 



ously sent), a copy of the report of the district engineer, one copy 

 of the stipulation, one copy of the permit, and a copy of the letter 

 of transmittal (Form 861), with an indorsement thereon of the 

 payments made. 



If the final application involves both National Forest and Interior 

 Department lands, the case will be handled in a manner similar to 

 that outlined for preliminary applications (see p. 53). 



All recommendations by the district forester for cancellation of 

 permit, either in whole or in part, and all recommendations for ap- 

 proval or disapproval of applications for extension of time, either for 

 beginning or completing construction, shall be accompanied by a 

 report setting forth in detail the reasons for such recommendations, 

 and shall be submitted to the Forester through the chief engineer. 

 Whenever engineering difficulties are involved the district engineer 

 shall make such examination as is necessary, and shall prepare a 

 report to accompany the recommendations of the district forester. 



On November 15 of each year the district forester will prepare 

 and send by registered mail to each permittee a statement of ac- 

 count (Form 64). This statement will show the amount of the 

 charge for the succeeding calendar year, and the credit, if any, 

 on account of previous payments. If a balance is due from the per- 

 mittee the statement will be accompanied by a letter of transmittal 

 (Form 861). The district forester will retain two carbons of the 

 statements, and the Form 861, and will file them, together with the 

 registry receipt, with the other papers in the case. Upon the receipt 

 from the district fiscal agent of the notice of payment the date of 

 such payment should be indorsed upon the file copies of the Form 

 861. The original Form 861, with the customary indorsement 

 thereon of payment, will be sent to the permittee, and one copy of 

 the statement and of the Form 861 will be sent to the supervisor for 

 his files. 



If the works are completed and operation begun at or prior to the 

 time specified in the stipulation, the minimum rate of 10 cents per 

 horsepower per annum will apply from such date proportionately to 

 the fractional part of the calendar year succeeding such date, and 

 also to the following full calendar year, and the rate will be increased 

 each year by 10 cents per horsepower until the rate of $1 is reached, 

 and will then remain at that rate until the expiration of the permit. 

 All payments made previous to the beginning of operation will be 

 applied on payments due or to become due at and after that time. 



In order that the district forester may know whether the terms 

 of the stipulation and permit are being complied with, the super- 

 visor should keep himself fully informed of the progress of the 

 work. He shall immediately upon the date specified in the stipula- 

 tion upon which construction should begin make an examination 

 and report to the district forester whether the construction has 

 begun. The supervisor should ascertain from time to time thereafter 

 whether the works are being constructed with due diligence and in 

 substantial agreement with the maps and plans, and in case of doubt 

 should call for an examination by the district engineer. He shall 

 also immediately on the date specified in the stipulation upon which 

 operation should begin make an examination and report to the dis- 

 trict forester whether such operation has begun.
