 appeal and the answer. The answer should be filed in 

 duplicate, and one copy transmitted at once by the 

 supervisor to the appellant, who will be allowed ten 

 days in which to make final reply. Both appeal and 

 answers must be in writing and verified by oath, and 

 may be accompanied by affidavits of witnesses having

 occupying the range will be allowed to continue its use,
