3CCClutS III VCSeCAA 0SpVSAtoAASSe Washington, Nov 14-The names of six government Repositories which are to handle the receipts of the Uni ted States Forest service, after De- cember l, when it's organization for the administration of the National l forests will be removed from Wash ington to six field districts in the west, have just been announced. The designation of western banks to handle the moneys received from timber sales, permits for stock graz ing and for special uses of various resources in the national forests is an innovation which will mean that all the receipts of the Forest service in the future will be deposited to the credit of the treasurer of the United States and made available for circulation in the part of the coun- try from which 1t is derived, within the limits of the amounts allowed by law for government deposits, instead of being forwarded to the treasurer at Washington. The banks which have been named and which have all consented to serve the gov ernment are located in the district headquarters of the forest service at Denver, Ogden, Albuquerque, Missou- la, Portland, and San Francisco. They are as follows:
 Western Montana National bank, Missoula, Montana. Headquarters of first district, including northeast ern Washington, northen Idaho, northern Wyoming, and northwest ern South Dakota.
 Denver National bank, Denver, Colorado, headquarters of second dis trict, including Colorado. southern Wyoming, South Dakota, northwest ern Minnesota, Nebraska, western Kansas, southeastern Utah.
 First National bank, Albuquerque, New Mexico, headquarters of third district, including Arizona, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

 First National bank, San Francis co, California, headquarters of fifth ulottl AAA~ NAAN southwestern Nevada.
 First National bank, Portland, Ore gon, headquartres of sixth district, including Washington, Oregon, small part of northern California, and Alaska. The estimated receipts for The national forests for the present fiscal year will be approximately $2,000,- 900, making the receipts from each of the six districts range from $275,- 900 to $350,000. The Repositories will receive all remittances due the government for use of the nationa! forests after December 1, and deposit them to the credit of the treasurer of the United States. According to the plan which has been approved by | the officials of the United States treasurer, the forest service and the | officers of the various Repositories, when a timber sale, stock grazing, or special use application is made, | the forest supervisor will fill out 1 letter of transmittal in duplicate and tell the applicant to remit the amount directly to the national bank which Is the depository for the dis trict Remittances will be in the form of a national bank draft; ex- press or postoffice money order, and
 will be payable to the bank, since
 forest supervisors are not allowed to
 receive money The letter of trans initial is virtually a deposit slip 10
 accompany the remittance. The
 duplicate copy goes to the district
 fiscal agent. All remittanees will be assembled and checked up at the
 end of each day, single certificate of deposit made out by the bank and
 mailed to the secretary of the treas
 ury. This simple plan which has
 required months for the treasury
 officials and officers of the forest
 service to perfect, is one which will
 expedite business both for the users
 of the national forests and for the
 force in the office of each district
 forester, and at the same time will
 make it possible for the government
 to deposit the national forest receipts
 in western banks, and help the cir.
 eulation in that particular section of
 the country where it is originally ] spent.
