office at Albuquerque followed, de-
scribing in detail the plan as it would
apply to the Tusayan national forest.

officers showed that the average fees
on the Tusayan would be slightly
lower on both sheep and CATTLE Of
course, the fees being arrived at by
allowing, for different items including
range investments on government
