BRANCH OF OPERATION. 



OFFICE OF ACCOUNTS. 



Applications for Leave of Absence 



The attention of supervisors is called to the correct manner of making appli- 

 cation for leaves of absence. Requests should be made to the Forester in 

 advance by letter or telegram, but leave slip Form 785 should not be filled out 

 until after the supervisor has returned to duty. It is very essential that these 

 directions be observed, since supervisors are not notified of action taken upon 

 requests submitted upon leave slips only. It is understood that telegrams asking 

 for leave and replies granting leave must be sent at the expense of the super- 

 visor.
