report and all other papers in the case, together with his recommendation, to the 

 District Forester. Upon receipt of instructions? from the District Forester regarding 

 either the amount which will he required in settlement for damages, or other action 

 to betaken in the case, the supervisor will present a proposition of settlement (Form 

 208) to the trespasser, to lie filled in and signed bv him and forwarded to the District 

 Forester. A letter of transmittal (Form 861) will also be presented to the trespasser 

 and a duplicate sent to the District Forester. The procedure thereafter will be in 

 accordance with the instructions in The Use Book. 



Change in Serial Numbering- of Supplemental Permits 



Hereafter approved supplemental applications, subsequent to the issuance of the 

 first permit or extending summer permits to cover the year-long period, will be given 

 the same serial number as the original, with the addition of the letters "a," "b," 

 etc., instead of being given a new serial number. This will obviate the necessity of 

 making a cross reference on the folders, since all the papers referring to each appli- 

 cant's graxing permits will he filed in the same folder. 



Amendment of Crossing- Permit Form 



The attention of all Forest officers is called to the fact that Form 874-17, crossing 

 permit, does not contain a provision that the permit is subject to all valid claims and 

 not effective upon any but public land. All officers issuing crossing permits are 

 therefore instructed to amend the terms of each form by inserting the words "public 



lands in" after the word "across" and preceding the words " National Forest," 



in each permit. 



This action is m-cessiry to prevent the charge that such permits authorize the 

 graxing upon or crossing of private lands located along the route described in the 

 permit, and to prevent claims for damages sustained being filed against the officer 

 issuing the permit. 



Closure of Special-Use Cases Issued in Connection with Grazing Permits 

 In a great many instances supervisors, recommend closing special uses for corrals, 



pastures, etc., without giving specific reasons for doing so. It is important that this 



information be received before closing the cases in the Forester's files. 



Special uses issued to applicants who have grazing permits for only a portion of 



the year need not be closed if the graxing permits are to be renewed the following 



vear. 



Grazing Permits to be Prepared in Triplicate 



In order that their records may be complete, supervisors should prepare grazing 

 permits in triplicate, the original to be forwarded to the permittee, the duplicate to 

 the District Forester, and the third copy to be filed with the other papers in the case.
