Omission of Initialing on Carbons Sent for Information- 

 Hereafter, carbon copies of signed letters sent for information will bear no initialing, 

 but will be duplicates of the original letters and not of the file carbons. This rule 

 will not apply to carbons of letters sent by the District Foresters to Washington for 

 signature, which should be initialed for the files of the Washington office. 

 Requests for Binding Forest Atlas Folios- 

 Supervisors who desire one copy of their Forest Atlas Folio bound with stiff covers, 

 to be used as an office record, may make request on the District Forester, who will 

 forward the requests to Washington. It will not be necessary to send folios. These 

 will be furnished in the Washington office, will be bound by the Public Printer, 

 arid shipped direct to the supervisor. 



Correcting Forest Atlas Folios 



The first edition of the Forest Atlas Folios is practically completed. The data for 

 some of the folios wore excellent and will not require revision for some time. In 

 other cases the data were inaccurate and have been corrected by Forest officers in 

 the field. Whenever, in the judgment of a supervisor, sufficient data have been 

 collected for, and the needs of his Forest justify a new edition of the folio, he should 

 arrange to send to the Forester, through the District Forester, the corrections and 

 additions to the sheets, together with his recommendations on the following points: 

 (1) What contour interval should be used? (2) Should alienations be shown or omit- 

 ted? (3) Should mining claims be shown or omitted? (4) How many folios are 

 needed on the Forest? 



In the case of many folios it will be necessary to print only a few corrected sheets. 

 Supervisors should use their judgment and not request the publication of new sheets 

 where the corrections are unimportant or when new data are expected soon and 

 more corrections can be made by delaying the publication. If the supervisor con- 

 templates requesting a second edition of his folio he should make special effort 

 during the coming field season to collect as much of the new data as possible and issue 

 instructions to his rangers, making it one of their duties to correct the sheets in their 

 Districts. Corrections should be plainly made with Forest Atlas correction ink or 

 with red ink. The correction ink is five parts of Pomeroy's yellow and one part ol 

 Carter's crimson writing fluid, and is furnished by the Property Clerk.
