20 Circular 211, Dept. of Agriculture 



The Forest Service cooperates with State anA 

 county officials, good-roads organizations, and private 

 individuals in the location, survey, construction, and 

 maintenance of roads in the national forests. The 

 road and trail construction work is financed from ap- 

 propriations under four different acts of Congress. 



"Uncle Sam's handy man" 



From his lookout tower the forest ranger is the watchful eye of the 

 Forest Service. In a thousand ways he is the ready hand, the tireless 

 foot. By means of the 30,000 miles of telephone lines put up on the 

 forests, he is the quickened ear. 



These funds may be expended upon projects located* 

 within or partly within the national forests. Through 

 cooperative arrangement the road projects which re- 

 quire the supervision of engineers intensively trained 

 in highway engineering and construction are handled
