THE USE BOOK. 53 



Examiners of lands applied for under the act of June 11, 

 1906, are reminded that rights for logging roads and other uses 

 necessary for the efficient administration of the Forests may be 

 withdrawn from all forms of entry in the same mariner as 

 irclministrative sites are withdrawn. The withdrawal would not 

 cover the entire fee, but merely an easement to occupy the land 

 for a road or other specific administrative use, leaving the fee 

 open to appropriation. After the withdrawal, the land over 

 which the right of way passes may be listed under the act of 

 June 11 as one contiguous tract. It is essential that the with- 

 drawal should precede the listing. The examining officer 

 should give the course and distance of the road with accuracy, 

 and should furnish with his recommendation for withdrawn 1 a 

 correct plat and field notes, using Forms 271 and 220. 



Supervisors should make actual diversions of water needed 

 for administrative use. After each diversion is made a record 

 of it should be prepared by the supervisor. 



The record should give the name of the stream, the date on 

 which the diversion was made, the method of diversion, the use 

 to which the water is put, the description of the place of diver- 

 sion, the subdivision of land if surveyed, and if not, the descrip- 

 tion of the land by reference to natural objects, and the amount 

 taken, in cubic feet per second or miner's inches. This record 

 should be prepared in duplicate, and both original and dupli- 

 cate should be dated and signed by the Forest officer making 

 the diversion, and witnessed by any persons present or assisting 

 him. Doth should be approved by the supervisor, and the origi- 

 nal forwarded to the Forester, accompanied by a plat on tracing 

 linen illustrating the fact given in the statement. A copy of the 

 plat will be retained by the supervisor.
