he had been appointed for the whole year. When a 

 successor is not appointed, or he is not removed by 

 either the Forest Commission or his township com- 

 mittee, a warden's term continues until such action 

 is taken or he is re-appointed for the ensuing year. 



(13) A commission must be issued to every town- 

 ship and district warden. No ap- 

 pointee is authorized to exercise the 



authority of a warden or claim pay as 



one for himself or his helpers until he has his first 



commission. 



(14) An acceptance is attached to each commis- 

 sion blank. This must be signed and 



returned to the State Firewarden, at 

 Trenton, before a new warden's author- 

 ity or his bills will be recognized by the Forest Com- 

 mission. If a warden's acceptance does not reach 

 Trenton by March 1, of the year for 

 which the commission is issued, the Salary of tardy 

 bill for the State's share of his salary a* e c rdens "" 

 will be reduced in proportion to the 

 number of months it is tardy. 



Supplies and Equipment. 



(15) Each warden is furnished with a numbered 

 badge as evidence of his authority. 



He must keep it carefully, wear it 

 wnenever he is out on fire business, and when his 

 term is over, turn it over to his successor, or return 

 it to the State Firewarden, as directed. When a 

 badge is lost or turned over to a successor, notice 

 should be sent to the State Firewarden of its num- 

 ber and the circumstances, to insure the warden's 

 release from his responsibility. Badges which are 

 broken should be sent to Trenton at once for repairs. 



(16) Each warden should keep himself supplied 

 with Fire Permits, Report Blanks, Bill 



Blanks, Complaint Blanks, a Portfolio Supplies, 



for his supplies and a copy of the Forest Fire Laws. 

 These will be sent from Trenton promptly, free of 

 charge, and to all wardens upon request. If a war- 

 den is found without such supplies as he needs, it is 

 reasonable evidence that he has not interest enough
