the reason should be given plainly.
In accordance with the usual prac-
tice. every effort should be made to
learn the wishes of citizens as to what
lands should be excluded or includ-
ed. If areas are proposed for addi-
ton or elimination at the request Of
citizens, their petitions should form
part of the reasons for the change
in boundaries. Petitions which have
contributed to the establishment OF
the present boundaries should. when
practicable, be submitted as part OF
the record.
For this work you will need to
use your very best available help. The
organization of the work is. of course.
in your hands.
Existing and proposed boundaries,
and all land and cover classifications,
should always be shown on maps. sup
ported by reports. So far as pos
sible. the Forest Service atlas folios
should be used as the base maps. The
publication OF these folios is being
pushed forward os fapidly as possi-
BILE BY the first of August nearly all
of them will be in your hands. Where
1t is possible to get them to you at
a considerably earlier date, by leav-
ing out the classification and simply
sending you the blank copies, this
will be done.
I'm addition to having every bound
cry line carefully gone over. l want
you to consider whether you have any
considerable areas of agricultural
land in the interior of the Forests or
other land which would serve the
public best by being excluded.
This is a matter on which it will
be necessary for you to put your very
best effort. II there 10 any help that
can be given by the Washington once,
let me know. From the time this
work nrst starts l want you to keep
ME fully informed Of il progress by
