best fern of oooperation to be ocrried Out, 



The secondary fire working plan for the coming 

 season has boon completed end ie now ^oing the round of the 

 districts. The ideal plans and maps submitted by Ustrlot 

 Han^drs rero followed as closely as possible in making this 

 plan, which should work, provided the District Od fleer fur- 

 nishes enough lubricator. 



A map on the scale of cne inch to the mile showing 

 the boundary of the Forest up to date was made f*r us in th 

 Diatr-lct Office. On it we heve placed existing and proposed 

 improvements, and private telephone lines. Its forms ur 

 first real record of data of this character and vrill be ex- 

 tensively used as a reference map. It is thought that Dis- 

 trict Rangers will find a map of their districts along 

 similar lines jf much value. A map of this character was 

 drawn by Ranger ./ilson showing the correct location of the 

 roads, trails, mines, and ranches in his District, the data 

 usod being secured larrrely from local maps to which ho had 

 access. "The District Office had 53 black and white prints 

 made of it for use in this office and th Joresthill District. 



Purest Clerk La Rue has been designated as Custo- 

 dian f the non-ex endablo Government property on this Pur- 

 est and will som send out for receipts for such property 

 held by the different Forest officers. 



This change will neon that the Supervisor will now 

 be able to condemn brolcen end worn-out property, and cny of- 

 ficer charged rith such property should tako the mr-ttor up 

 with him when he is next in his District. 



Under the new procedure all property in the field 

 will bo char-red to the District P.rn^ers rho rd.ll be furnished 

 with a cet sf card records (which they '-111 be o?cpocted to 

 keep up to date) similar to those used in the Supervisor's of- 

 fice. They will then be reruired to hold each of their as- 

 sistants directly responsible for rrhat property they have in 

 their possession. 



This change in procodure will eliminate nnny pro7>cr-
