38 THE USE BOOK. 



V 



all forest supervisors to sell dead or living timber worth 

 not more than $100. The Forester is authorized to make 

 timber sales for larger amounts, and to delegate this ^ 

 authority in special cases. 



The methods of sale are as follows: 



A. RANGER SALES. 



Dead timber only, not over $20 in value. Advertisement not 

 required (p. 36). 



A request to purchase dead timber not over $20 in value may be 

 acted upon by any forest ranger, deputy forest ranger, any forest 

 officer designated by the supervisor with the approval of the For- 

 ester, or by any supervisor. The forest officer makes an exami- 

 nation, fixes the terms of sale, and designates the timber to be 

 cut. Formal application is made out in duplicate and signed by 

 the purchaser, who also forwards payment in full to the Special 

 Fiscal Agent, with a letter of transmittal given him by the forest 

 officer, who will at once fill out a copy, mark it "Duplicate," and 

 forward it to the Forester through the supervisor (p. 29) . 



The duplicate should state, in addition to information given in 

 the original, the amount of timber of each species included in the 

 sale and the price per thousand feet or other unit. The forest 

 officer, upon being shown the receipt, if the payment is made by 

 express or postal money order, or the draft itself if by national 

 bank draft on New York, as assurance of payment will approve 

 both copies of the application and at once permit cutting and 

 removal. He will at once forward one copy to the supervisor, 

 giye the other copy to the purchaser, and record the terms of the 

 sale in his notebook. He will notify the supervisor as soon as the 

 timber is removed and all terms of the agreement fulfilled, and 

 recommend that the sale be closed. 



B. SUPERVISOR SALES. 



Dead or living timber, not over $100 in value. Advertisement 

 not required (p. 37). 



An examination on the ground is made by the supervisor, or 

 for him by a subordinate. The results are recorded and discussed
