ADVISORY BOARDS. 



REG. 69. Whenever any live-stock association whose 

 membership includes a majority of the owners of any class 

 of live stock using a forest reserve or portion thereof shall 

 appoint a committee for such purpose, an agreement on 

 the part of which committee shall be binding upon the 

 ass ciation, such committee, upon application to the 

 Forester, may be recognized as an advisory board for 

 the association, and shall then be entitled to receive notice 

 of proposed action and have an opportunity to be heard 

 by the local forest officer in reference to increase or de- 

 crease in the number of stock to be allowed for any year, 

 the division of the range between different classes of stock 

 or their owners, or the adoption of special rules to meet 

 local conditions. 



In setting any date of meeting with an advisory board the 

 supervisor must give sufficient time to afford all members of the 

 board an opportunity to attend, but in case they fail to attend 

 either in person or by proxy, then the forest officer will be relieved 

 from all obligation to delay action. 



Favorable consideration will be given the recommendations of 

 an advisory board except when such recommendations are in con- 

 flict with the regulations or when there is good reason for their 

 disapproval. 



Live-stock associations desiring to take advantage of this regu- 

 lation must file an application with the Forester, giving the names 

 of all members of the association, the name of the forest reserve 

 or reserves in which its members are interested, and the names of 

 the committeemen who are to act for the association. The advisory 

 board must not consist of more than five members, and a majority 

 of the board must constitute a quorum.
