ty ^ransfors in the Supervisor^ offloe, since in the pest 

 It has boon necessary to transfer property from "S^oc!:" or 

 from the Dletrict r.anger to short torn men rhen they are 

 put on et the opening of the fire season, and then re trans- 

 fer it back to stock when the nan raits or IB furloujhod at 

 the close of the ecaeon. S >.ch transfers \7ero etill further 

 complicated "by transferred part of the property to the Dic- 

 trict ~rn~or and the other pert to "Stuol:", and each trans- 

 fer coans en ontry on two or throo cards for or.ch article. 



Another point which came up this V/intor was where 

 a District Rr.rvror would allow an Assistant P.anjor to Icoop 

 some of his property in his possession without talring r. ro- 

 coipt therefor. When this occurred, a mis-up invariably 

 resulted, eepooirlly rhon tho A^cistcnt ?.. r.rjer on leaving 

 turn of. property into this office charged to the District 

 Hanger. 



It is expected that each District Hanger Trill keep 

 a supply of stationery and forms on hend sufficient to supply, 

 as far as prc.oticr.blo, tho needs of all hie Assistants. 



It ic believed this "111 be tho most expeditious 

 method since tho District ranger v.ill be in daily corraunicar- 

 tion TTith his Assistants and can fill the rants of the lat- 

 ter on short notice without tho delry incidental to mailing 

 a requisition to this office. 



In other rords, it fill moan keeping seven men 

 supplied from this office, instead of forty es during the 

 field season.
