SERVICE ORDER 13. 



(Amends Regulation 65 of The Use Book.) 



MARCH 11, 1908. 



Receipts. 



Regulation 65 of The Use Book, as amended by the Secretary of Agriculture 

 on March 6, reads as follows : 



Reg. 65. The Fiscal Agent, Forest Service, Washington, D. C., is author- 

 ized to receive all payments to the Forest Service. The Special Fiscal 

 Agent, Ketchikan, Alaska, is authorized to receive payments on account of 

 transactions in Alaska. All other Forest officers are prohibited from re- 

 ceiving any payments. Payments must be by postal or express money 

 orders or national-bank drafts on New York City, made payable to the 

 Treasurer of the United States. Payments to the Fiscal Agent must be 

 accompanied by printed form letters of transmittal (Form 861), which will 

 be furnished the payor by the Forest officers. The letter of transmittal 

 must designate the transaction on account of which the payment is made, 

 and must be signed by the payor and the Forest officer conducting the trans- 

 action. A duplicate of the form letter of transmittal, signed only by the 

 Forest officer for all payments except grazing fees, must at the same time 

 be sent to the Forester. 



Hereafter, in accordance with this regulation, all drafts and money or express 

 orders will be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States instead of 

 the Fiscal Agent. They will, however, be sent to the Fiscal Agent as heretofore, 

 and not to the Treasurer of the United States. 



New Form 861 is being printed and a supply will be sent to Forest supervisors 

 without requisition. Old forms should be destroyed. 



OVERTON W. PRICE, 



Associate Forester.
