18 NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL - SPECIAL USES. 



When an applicant for a pasture in connection with a hotel or 



summer resort desires to make a charge for pasturing 



Pastures in anmi als owned by his guests, this should be consid- 



hoteis? 10n L ere d m fixing the rate per acre, and a higher charge 



made than when the pasturing is to be allowed free. 



The permit should fix the maximum number of animals which may be 



allowed to graze within the pasture at any one time and the maximum 



charge per head per day which may be made, the amount not exceeding 



15 cents. Such pastures must not in any case include all of the avail-

opportunity for the public to camp outside if they desire so to do. 



PERMITS UNDER REGULATION L-37. 



A permit to inclose and use not to exceed 320 acres of Forest land 

 without charge may be granted in exchange for a waiver of exclusive 

 use of private lands adjoining National Forest lands when such an 

 arrangement will be advantageous to the administration of a national 

 forest. (Regulation L-37.) 



Before issuing permits under regulation L-37 the supervisor must 



determine that the title to the land for which a 



involved waiver to its exclusive use has been given has passed 



from the United States and that the applicant has 



the right to its use. (See Forest Surveys ano) Boundaries Forest 



Atlas Alienation.) 



Permits may be based upon the following: 



(a) Lands for which patent has issued by the 

 Patented land. 



(6) Railroad lands within the primary limits of a 

 Railroad land, grant made by Congress, on land not classified as 



mineral. 



When an application for an inclosure permit in exchange for the 



use of private lands is received, a record will be made 



supervisor^ 6 ^ showing the name and address of the applicant and 



description and acreage of the land owned or leased 



for which a waiver to the exclusive use is given. If after careful in- 



vestigation it appears advisable, the supervisor will issue the permit 



in triplicate, sending the original to the applicant, filing the dupli- 



cate, and sending the triplicate to the ranger in charge of the 



district. 



STOCK TANKS. 



Permits for the construction of stock watering tanks may be issued 

 Free permits ^ ree ^ cnar e ^ grazing permittees, provided that all 

 stock grazed under permit upon the range are allowed 

 access to the water. The inclosure of not more than 40 acres in 

 connection with the watering place may be allowed when necessary 

 for the protection of the range, for which the usual pasture charge 

 will be made. The inclosure of existing sources of water supply 

 will not be allowed, and permits allowing the improvement or 

 development of such sources of water supply must provide that the 

 water will be left open for the use of all stock grazed upon the range 

 under permit.
