lands. Forest officers will confer and cooperate with the 

 authorities in charge of the construction of such roads as to 

 the disposal of refuse and other safeguards to prevent 

 injury to the National Forests. With this exception, per- 

 mits are necessary for the construction of all wagon roads 

 over National Forest lands. Trails may be constructed 

 over National Forest lands with the consent and under the 

 supervision of a Forest officer. Permission to construct 

 roads and trails over National Forest lands will not give 

 any right to exclusive use, or to charge toll, or against 

 future disposal of the land by the United States. 



If an application for road or trail construction involves the 

 cutting or destruction of more timber within the right of way 

 than the supervisor is authorized to sell under the timber-sale 

 regulations, it must be submitted to the Forester for approval; 

 otherwise it may be granted by the supervisor. 



When the construction of n road or trail is completed, the 

 permit need not be revoked, but the supervisor will record the 

 case as closed and notify the Forester. 



REG. 13. The supervisor may, in his discretion, permit 

 to any road district, county, person, or corporation the free 

 use of timber, stone, sand, gravel, and other National 

 Forest products for the construction, maintenance, or re- 

 pair of roads or trails within National Forests, without 

 prejudice to any free-use application they may make in the 

 same year for material for other purposes, when such roads 

 or trails are of sufficient public benefit to justify the 

 free use. 



The regular free-use permit form must be used in granting 

 timber under this regulation. When the value of the timber 

 applied for is greater than the supervisor is authorized to sell, 

 the application will be sent to the Forester for approval, with 

 full report and definite recommendations.
