The last part of the final sentence is necessary only when a balance 

 is to be refunded or transferred. 



If the cancellation is enforced, the action, which will be justified 

 only on account of serious violation of the terms of 

 ^Enforced canceiia- ^he contract, will, except in Forester's sales, be taken 

 only by the superior of the. officer approving the con- 

 tract and after the district assistant to the solicitor advises that 

 such action is legal and after the purchaser has in writing been 

 given a reasonable time to show cause why the contract should not 

 be canceled. Formal notification of enforced cancellation will be sent 

 in all cases, and, if by the district forester, will be sent through the 

 supervisor with a duplicate copy for the supervisor's files. 



Contracts will be canceled only after the condition and location 

 of the cuttings, the amount of timber left uncut and 

 ^ ne possibility of a ready sale at prices not less than 

 those of the existing contract, have been reported on 

 with specific recommendations. If enforced cancellation is consid- 

 ered, the report will in addition cover thoroughly the violation of the 

 contract.

When special uses for sawmills, logging railroads, flumes, camps, 

 etc., are to be used only in connection with a sale, provision for them
