 reasons for the exception should be stated. 



Where necessary to except a strip of greater width than 30 feet an explanation 

 should accompany the draft of the listing letter to the Forester. (See "L, Service, 

 Settlement" letters, February 8, 1911, March 7, 1911, March 9, 1911, and April 7, 1911.) 

 Settlement: Exception for Roads, Notice to Applicant Act of June 11, 1906 



In all cases where a tract is listed under the act of June 11, 1906, and a strip of land 

 is excepted from entry, District Forester will notify the applicant that, on submis- 

 sion of final proof, he will be required by the General Land Office to have surveyed 

 the boundary lines of the strip excepted. The survey of the excepted land will be 

 in addition to the survey required to be made of the tract entered. No survey will 

 be required by the General Land Office of previously established lines of official sur- 

 vey which may form in part the boundary of the tract entered, the survey of the ex- 

 H cepted strip in such cases being sufficient. 



Settlement: Lands within Abandoned Military Reservations- 

 November 19, 1910, the Secretary of the Interior decided, with reference to aban- 

 doned military reservations containing more than 5,000 acres, that applicants under 

 the act of June 11, 1906, for the listing of areas within such reservations, will be re- 

 quired to pay the appraised price of such lands in addition to the customary filing 

 fees. District Foresters will inform any applicants, upon filing an application for 

 such lands, of this fact. (Circular Letter L Service Settlement of February 16, 1911.)
