NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL SPECIAL USES. 



Within the maximum and minimum rates established herein the 

 Forest supervisor will determine the rate to be charged in each case. 



Rates for special uses not herein provided for shall be determined 

 by the District Forester in each case, and such rates shall be consistent 

 with the rates herein established for similar special uses. 



Compensation for the use of lands under the act of February 28. 

 1899, for hotels and dwellings adjacent to mineral and medicinal 

 springs, shall be determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. 



In case of abandonment and issuance of new permit any payments 

 made upon the original permit may apply on the new permit, in the 

 discretion of the District Forester. 



Reg. L-34. In serious emergencies for the protection of life or 

 property National Forest material may be taken without previous 

 permit, provided a permit for the material so used and for the special 

 use involved is subsequently secured at the earliest opportunity. 



Reg. L-35. The Forest supervisor may, in his discretion, issue 

 permits to any road district, county, person, or corporation for the 

 free use of timber, stone, and other National Forest products for the 

 construction or maintenance of roads or trails within National Forests, 

 without prejudice to any free-use application they may make in the 

 same vear for material for other purposes, when such roads or trails 

 are of sufficient public benefit to justify the free use. When the 

 public benefit does not justify such free use the permittee must pay 

 for all merchantable timber cut or destroyed upon the lands occupied 

 under permit, under timber settlement regulations; or if timber out- 

 side such lands is required, under timber-sale regulations. 



Reg. L-36. Wagon roads over National Forest lands may be con- 

 structed, changed, widened, or repaired without permit by States or 

 counties. With this exception, permits are necessary for the construc- 

 tion of all wagon roads over such lands. Trails may be constructed 

 without formal permit if done with the consent and under the super- 

 vision of a Forest officer, except that in the National Forests in Alaska 

 such consent and supervision will not be required. No toll shall be 

 charged for the use or roads or trails over such lands, constructed under 

 the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture, and the same shall be 

 open to free public use at all times. 



Reg. L 37. Persons who own or have leased from the owners un- 

 fenced lands adjoining National Forest lands may, upon waiving their 

 right to the exclusive use of such private land and allowing it to 

 remain open to other stock grazed on National Forest lands under 

 permit, be permitted without charge to inclose and use not to exceed 

 320 acres or National Forest land, when such an arrangement will be 

 advantageous to the administration of the National Forest. 



The application must be accompanied by a personal certificate 

 of title showing the description and ownership of the land, and if 

 leased from an owner, a copy of the lease, and must describe the 

 National Forest land it is desired to occupy. Permits will be subject 

 to the same restrictions as those issued under other regulations.
