Instructions to Carry Out Terms of Agreements. 



When restrictive measures have been agreed upon between the Forest Service 

 and municipalities or other applicants, the District Forester will issue definite 

 instructions to the supervisor in regard to the manner in which the restrictive 

 or protective measures will be put into effect. Record of restrictive measures 

 should be kept on a map in both the District Forester's and the supervisor's 

 offices. 



PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 



Every precaution must be taken by Forest officers to protect the public health. 

 Regulation T-4-D provides that all persons on National Forest lands shall be 

 liable to trespass proceedings if insanitary conditions result from their presence, 

 and it is the duty of Forest officers to themselves conform to the provisions of 

 this regulation and to enforce compliance with it by all campers, stockmen, 

 permittees, and other persons traveling through or occupying National Forest 

 lands. 



All camp refuse and debris must be disposed of by burying or burning, and 

 in large or permanent camps disinfectants should be used. The carcasses of 

 all dead animals, when they are a menace to the public health, should be im- 

 mediately burned or buried. (See Regulation G-25.) 



1 Resolutions of city council or governing authority of the city authorizing the signing 

 of this agreement by the mayor should accompany the agreement.
