THE USE BOOK. 



Scale reports. When a cutting area is laid off and timber 

 marked or otherwise designated to be cut, the Forest officer in 

 charge of the work will notify the supervisor, and will also 

 report the date when cutting actually begins. While cutting is 

 in progress he will report to the supervisor, in all classes of 

 sales, upon the form provided, the amount of timber cut and the 

 condition of the tract. 



Reports will cover periods of one, two, three, or four weeks, 

 as may be required by the supervisor. The period will in every 

 case end with Saturday. These reports may be omitted when 

 the work is discontinued for a considerable period, as in winter. 



In advertised sales, a summary of the scale, on Form 606, 

 will be sent to the supervisor each week. This is in addition 

 to the regular cutting report. The supervisor will send an 

 approved copy of this summary to the purchaser. Cutting 

 reports will be sent to the supervisor in duplicate. He will 

 at once compare the value of the timber cut with the deposits, 

 and, if necessary, will notify the purchaser to make further 

 deposits. One copy of the scale report will be kept by the 

 supervisor, the other, when approved, will be sent to the For- 

 ester. In Class A and unadvertised Class B sales only the 

 final cutting reports need be sent to the Forester.
