(a) Will the settlement tend to monopolize the shore line and prevent 

 the public enjoying the water and scenery of the locality? .

 tions more remote from the water, and thereby hinder the use of the 

 forest? .

 the form prescribed for this purpose. .

 for elimination, inclusion, or reservation, etc., as the case maybe. .

The forest officer, if not furnished by this office with a 

 sketch map of the proposed wagon road, ditch, etc. , can use 

 the map of the company as base or skeleton to copy from. 

 With this map he will follow the survey as far as it extends 

 through the reserve. In examining the land he will sketch 

 in his note book all points of importance, mapping them on a 

 scale of 6 inches to 1 mile. 



A sketch map and a description may be made for every half 

 mile; but if the survey runs for a mile or two through forest 

 of practically the same kind, or through a barren burn, the 

 description of the first or preceding half mile may answer for 

 the second or all following half miles; and the note will then 

 simply be: "Same as last half mile," etc. 



In his report the forest officer will answer the questions in 

 the same order as adopted in this form and give to each 

 answer the same number that the question. has. 



The report will, in form, be as follows: 



Report on right of way: (Wagon road, railroad, ditch, etc.) in 



Reserve.

 side; whether the way runs in a parrow valley, on hillside, etc.
