makes it necessary* 



The nest striking thing noted in studying rangers 1 

 work is the great variation in the volume of work handled "by 

 different rangers, 



The work as classified, should rank in relative 

 importance as follows: 



1, Protective ~ duty to future. 



Improvement work closely related, 



2. Income producing "business, 



3>uty to present* 



3* Public "benefit ~ cut down time spent on this "by im- 

 proving methods and elim1.na.ting red tape, 



4. Investigative work ~ This should be kept down to the 

 amount which can "be paid for from the profits of a Forest, 

 except in cases where an investigation is necessary tc in- 

 crease returns. 



5. Rangors 1 maintenance ~ I place this last, not "because 

 it is the least important, "but "because I "believe we should 

 pay first attention to reducing time spent on it. 



I should place the determining factors in locating 

 E, [District Hanger's headquarters in the following crcler of 

 importance; 



1 Kaarness to supplies, mall and telephone. 

 -, Ea a: .Ties -3 to assistance for fire fighting. 

 3 to users* 



4. Ueamess to important sales*
