1. The object of this report is that the Department may keep closely 

 in touch Avith the work being done on the reserves. 



2. For the foresters, they are of inestimable value in that at the 

 end of each month the Avork of all rangers, and foresters as well, may 

 be properly classified and charged to the proper accounts. 



\A itli these ideas in view, this report should become a diary of 

 each man in the service. The exact location and character of work 

 done should be set forth in detail for each day, as Avell as the amount 

 of time in hours spent at each operation; also in red ink the accouni 

 or accounts to Avhich each days Avork is charged. No one should 

 hesitate to tell exactly where he has been and what he has been doing. 



4. The time of foresters and rangers costs value to the State, and 

 consequently should be accounted for just as other expenses must be, 

 and the time spent at each operation, or kind of service, should be 

 charged against that operation or service at a rate i)er hour, de- 

 termined by dividing the salary per month by 250, Avhich rate shall be 

 known as the "service" rate. 



5. When each operation, other than distinctly administratiA^e 

 duties, has been properly charged for time given it at the ^'service'^ 

 rate, the sum of the items should be taken; the difference between 

 the foi'ester's monthly salary and this sum should be charged to gen- 

 eral administration. In case the sum of the items amounts to more 

 than the monthly salary, the difference nmy be credited in the gen- 

 eral administration account. 



(). It must not be assumed that 250 hours is the amount of time 

 Avhich a forestei* or ranger is expected to AVork, no more or no less. 

 That number has been chosen to determine the rate per hour to be 

 charged against operations simply as a matter of convenience and 

 uniformity. Men in the forest service do not work OA^ertime; they 

 are in the service of the State from the time they enter its employ 

 until they leave it. 



7. In the case of the ranger's time, each operation is charged prop- 

 erly and the difference betAveen salary and the sum of separate items 

 is charged to general protection account. If the sum of operation 

 charges is greater than the salary, the difference may be placed to 

 the credit of protection account. 



8. Operations should be charged for rangers' and foresters' time in 

 the same manner as charges for other time. If the forester would 

 have to pay for time to and from the operation, in case a man were 

 employed to do the Avork performed, then the time occupied by for- 

 ester or ranger in getting to and from the operation should be charged 

 against it. Otherwise an operation should be charged only for time 

 actually spent at it. Time in transit may be omitted in reports and 

 consequently will be made up in charge to administration or protec- 

 tion. 



9. Absence from the reserve should be indicated by "Absent on 

 leave." If on Department or reserve Avork the nature of the work 

 should be indicated.
