76 THE USE BOOK. 



Whenever the supervisor desires such information, applicants 

 may be required to file a supplemental certificate setting forth the 

 location and area of their ranches and also of the public lands 

 used for grazing, the number and class of stock owned, and the 

 length of time they have occupied the range. 



REG. 49. Whenever there is a dispute between appli- 

 cants for the privilege of grazing stock on the same area 

 or district, if the supervisor is unable otherwise to deter- 

 mine who is best entitled to a permit, he will notify the 

 applicants to appear before him at a stated time and place, 

 then and there to make a statement of their claims. After 

 all evidence has been presented the supervisor will decide 

 who shall be granted permits, and his decision will be 

 final unless written notice of appeal to the Forester is 

 given him within ten days thereafter. Appeal will avail 

 only in case of error. 



REG. 50. Persons owning cattle and horses which reg- 

 ularly graze on ranges located along the boundary line 

 and only partially included within a forest reserve may 

 be granted permits for such portion of their stock as the 

 circumstances appear to justify, but may be required to 

 herd or so handle their stock as to prevent trespassing by 

 that portion for which a permit is not granted, and to 

 sign a supplemental agreement to that effect. 



In the approval of applications from the owners of stock which 

 graze on and off the reserve, the. forest officers will make an esti- 

 mate of the average number which will probably be grazed upon 

 the forest reserve lands, and the supplemental agreement to pre- 

 vent the grazing of unpermitted stock need not be required unless 

 this number is in excess of that which the applicant would be en- 

 titled to graze and is willing to pay the grazing fee upon. 



Persons who allow their stock to drift and graze on the forest 

 reserves without a permit, whether they do so intentionally or
