 (Amends sections 151 to 155 of the Green Book, issued October 30, 1907.) 



Property Accounting- on the National Forests. 



f Beginning June 1, 1908, supervisors will keep two records on 4 by 6 cards (Form 

 331 ), the same form being used in both. One will be designated "Forest Accounta- 

 bility" and the other "Individual Accountability." A sample of the form is 

 inclosed. A first supply will be furnished without requisition. 



r/L OF PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY 



Forest Accountability: Under this head the supervisor will record all the nonex- 

 pendable articles for which he is responsible. A separate card will be used for each 

 class of articles. For example: Axes, calipers 34", calipers 60", tents 7' by 9', 

 tents, hospital, etc. After "name" at the top of the card will be written "forest" 

 to show that the card is a part of the Forest Accountability record. The cards will 

 be filed alphabetically by names of articles. 



Individual Accountability: Under this head will be kept an individual record of all 

 articles issued to subordinates and of those kept on hand by the supervisor. A sepa- 

 rate card will be used for each class of articles, as in the Forest Accountability 

 record, but in the space for name at the top of the card will be written the name of 

 the subordinate to whom the articles are issued, or the word "Stock," when the 

 card is used to record the articles kept on hand by the supervisor. These cards will 

 be tiled alphabetically under guides upon which will be written the name of the 

 subordinate or the word "Stock."
