Transfer of Grazing- Fees 



The instructions published in the March Field Program in reference to the transfer 

 of grazing fees have been modified to provide for the transfer of money from the 

 credit of one permittee to that of another whenever the circumstances would other- 

 wise entitle the former to a refund. A written- order signed by the person who made 

 the original payment will be required in all cases.

Special Uses 



\i-ir l'}j mi of Permit. Form 832 "Special Use Agreement" has been revised under 

 the title " Special Use Permit," and Forms 946a and 946b have been superseded by 

 Form 946, which is to be used in transmitting special-use permits to the permittees. 

 A supply of the new forms has been sent to each supervisor for use beginning July 1. 

 The revised Form 832 is a permit outright, not an agreement, and will not be signed 

 by the permittee, but only by the officer issuing the permit. All old Forms 832 and 

 all Forms 946a and 946b are obsolete and should be destroyed immediately. Par- 

 ticular attention is called to " Procedure in Special-use Permits," The Uee Book, 

 p. 56 (Edition of July 1, 1908). 



Follow-up Cards for Special f/.s-f-s-. The follow-up card system prescribed by the first 

 paragraph on page 198 of The Use Book, under the title "Follow-up System," will 

 of course be used by Forest officers, in special-use permits, to follow up requirements 

 of beginning and completing construction within the time limits fixed. This should 

 be done not only in new transactions when the permits are issued, but in all special- 

 use permits where such requirements exist. It is suggested that the follow-up 

 reminder cards be set for dates shortly in advance of the expiration of time limits 

 fixed in the permits. 



Claims Relmquishments 



Whenever a supervisor transmits to the Forester a relinquishment, or copy of a 

 relinquishment of a homestead or other entry, he should in every case send with it 

 a report giving a description of the land and an estimate of the amount of timber on 

 the claim relinquished. 



Boundaries Administrative Sites Names for Sites 



Since Administrative Sites are filed by names, it is important that field officers re- 

 port the names of all sites which are at present known to this office by numbers only.
