The Property Auditor will charge the member on his records, and 

 send him the copy of the Form 939 received from the Purchasing 

 Agent with a certificate indorsed thereon that the property has been 

 charged to him. 



Sec. 147. Property Procured by Transfer. A Property Clerk 

 transferring expendable property to a CMef of Maintenance or a 

 supervisor will prepare and sign two copies of Form 939. He will 

 keep one copy and send the other to the Chief of Maintenance or 

 the supervisor, to whom the property is transferred. 



Transfers of nonexpendable property between members of the 

 Service, except as provided in section 148, will be made in accord- 

 ance with the following procedure: 



When nonexpendable property is issued by the Property Clerk 

 to a supervisor, three copies of Form 939 will be prepared and signed 

 by the Property Clerk as invoices. He will send two copies to the 

 Property Auditor and the third to the supervisor. 



The supervisor, upon receipt of the property, will enter in the 

 spaces provided on the Form 939 received from the Property Clerk, 

 the condition of the property and the date of receipt, will sign it as 

 a receipt, and send it to the Property Auditor. 



The Property Auditor, upon receiving the Form 939 from the 

 supervisor, will credit the Property Clerk and charge the super- 

 visor with the property transferred. He will indorse upon the two 

 corresponding forms 939 received from the Property Clerk, a cer- 

 tificate of the transfer, and send one to the Property Clerk and the 

 other to the supervisor. 



The Property Clerk retains responsibility for the property trans- 

 ferred until the supervisor's receipt is received by the Property 

 Auditor. 



When nonexpendable property is received in the absence of the 

 supervisor, the Form 939 will be signed by the acting supervisor in 

 the following form: 



"JOHN JONES, Supervisor. 

 By WILLIAM SMITH, Acting Supervisor ." 



This procedure will be followed by other members in charge of 

 executive offices or field stations. 



Form 939 for property transferred to a member as an individual, 

 and not as an officer in charge, must be signed by him. 



When nonexpendable property is furnished for temporary use by 

 a custodian to another member a receipt will be taken, but the 

 transaction will not be reported to the Property Auditor. 



Sec. 148. Property Accounting on the National Forests. 

 Supervisor's Record. The supervisor will keep two card records on 

 Form 331. . One record will be designated "Forest Accountabil- 

 ity," and in it will be recorded all the nonexpendable articles for 

 which the supervisor is accountable. The cards will be filed 

 alphabetically by names of articles.
