exception of this perforation the form is practically unchanged, and its use, so far as 

 Forest officers are concerned, will remain the same. The revised forms will be dis- 

 tributed as soon as received and should then be used exclusively by all Forest officers 

 for transmitting collections on accounts of Forest resources. All old Forms 861 and 

 861-G on hand should be destroyed when the new edition is received. 



REVISION OF PAY-ROLL FORMS The Field pay roll, Form 2, has been revised and 

 will now be used by Forest supervisors in certifying monthly salaries of the Forest 

 force instead of Certificate of Service, Form 143. An initial supply will be furnished 

 by the Property Clerk at Ogden without requisition. When that is received, the 

 use of Form 143 should be discontinued. If a supply is not received within a reason- 

 able time after July 1, the Property Clerk should be notified. In preparing the pay 

 rolls three copies should be made the original and one carbon forwarded to the 

 District Fiscal Agent and the second carbon retained in the Forest file. The original 

 pay roll only should be certified, but the carbons should show the name of the cer- 

 tifying o nicer. 



TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS Alterations or erasures on a transportation request 

 should be made only by a person who has authority to issue the request. Allowance 

 for extra services rendered in accordance with an unauthorized alteration of a 

 request can not be made unless such services are specifically ratified and approved 

 by proper authority. Additional accommodations required by an employee over 

 those originally provided for him should be paid for by himself and reimbursement 

 requested therefor, which can only be made after the same are furnished and are 

 ratified and approved as necessary and required for the Government's interest. 

 Decision by Comptroller, July 22, 1909.
