Whereas, in the interest of economy of administration, it appears that certain lands in the State of Arizona heretofore embraced in the Apache National Forest as fixed and defined by Proclamation dated September 26, 1910 (No. 1088) and amended by Executive Order of February 17, 1912 (No. 1475) should be transferred to and made parts of the Crook National Forest which was fixed and defined by Proclamation of March 21, 1917 (No. 1362) and amended by Executive Order of December 24, 1921 (No. 3599), Proclamation of August 6, 1919 (No. 1533), and Executive Order of April 15, 1921 (No. 3435), and that certain lands in the State of New Mexico, now forming parts of the Datil National Forest fixed and defined by Proclamation dated June 7, 1910 (No. 1044), and amended by Proclamation of August 25, 1915 (No. 1309) and by Executive Order of July 3, 1916 (No. 2415), should be transferred to and made parts of the Apache National Forest.
Now, therefore, I, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Act of Congress approved June 4, 1897 (30 Stat. 11 at 34 and 36), do proclaim that the boundaries of the Apache National Forest, the Crook National Forest and the Datil National Forest are hereby changed and that they are now as shown on the diagrams hereto annexed and forming parts hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this 23d day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred twenty five, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-eighth.
