One of our worse loaJ:s in th Forest ^ork raid a 

 loo': thr.t vactos noro time than ro cr.n afford to looe is 

 not oomplotin-- a Job v/hon it is started. An officer vrill 

 travel 10 miloo to roke a special-use report. Ho will 

 obtain pnrt 01" Lho information required and 50 book to his 

 cunp, findo out whon he stcrtc to mr?:e hlo report thr.t 

 more information ie needed, and he has to raDke another 

 trio and porhcps another before all the information re- 

 quired io obtained, losing vrlu ble time on tho road. 



in ho is ronuostod to nolco a report on a olcin. Ho 

 ';c.':oo a rrld survey, porhrpe flnc'e onrt of tho linos and 

 looks over tho clrlra, for-ots r.ll rbout tho affidavits and 

 only half of the in f or inc. t ion vf ntofi is obtained. VThon tho 

 report le submitted to tho uiroervir.or he io requested by 

 bin to ne'<o anowhor trip to obtrin further information 

 cnc more ooraploto nTfioavits, a^nin raatin^ vrlup'ole time

 to be >iar'e to ?ind out sorae trivial item Which is nocesonry
