1. With t i m eobject of giving prompt effect to t i m e provisions of~Section 115 of t i m e Army Act, arramugeunentsare made in peacetime for time classification and selection of horses fit for impress -~uent on aim emergency, and commands will appoint ~ufficiemit

persons as purchasers in each area to ensure t i m e lmom-sesbeingmmpressedby the tinie required (see Appendix Ii).2. Commands a m - cdivided into areas corresponding, wlmerepossible,

to one or more petty sessiommalpolice or borougim police areas.

For classes see Appendix III. Time results arerecorded in Army Book 389.

3. In classifying horses t i m efollowing points are to be observed(a) No stable is to be entered until time owner’s permission has

b) Should permission be m-cfused,the deputy assistant directorof remounts of time area, or an officer detailed by theGeneral OfficerComamaruding-irm-Chmief,will call in personand explain time law m m dt i m eneed for classification. Shouldpermission still he witimheld, time search warrant, allowedunder Section 114 of the Army Act, will m m o tbe’ applied forwithout reference to the War Office.

All giey andwhite imorsesshould be marked x in t i m eclassificatiomilist.

(ci) Tact a m i d courtesy must be displayed towards owmmers.

4. Under the provisions of time Army Act time jmoiice and countyassociations have power to call for lists of classified I m o m - s e siii orderthat the lists may be inspected by time owners. It is, therefore,essential that these classified lists should be kept up to date incommands, a m i dbe immediately available if required for this purpose.

5. The General Officerin charge of administration in a commandis responsible that the classification does not overlap. From theclassification returns, specially prepar-ed lists of stables, horses andvehicles are maintained, ready to issue to tue officers and othersdetailed to impress and purchase oil mobilization. Only the number

of horses In each stable detailed in these lists are to be purchased,unless special orders to the contrary are issued. Time observance oftimis order will prevent overlappimmg. The list should contaumi25 percent, in excess of actual requirements. (See Sec. 13, 9.)
