Whereas, in the interest of economy of administration, it appears that certain lands in the State of Arizona heretofore embraced in the Prescott National Forest, as established by Proclamation dated September 29, 1919 (No. 1537), should be transferred to, and made parts of, the Tonto National Forest;
Now, therefore, I, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of the United States of America, by virtue o the power in me vested by the Act of Congress approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven (30 Stat., 11 at 34 and 36), do proclaim that the boundaries of the Prescott National Forest are hereby changed and that they are now as shown on the diagram hereto annexed and forming a part hereof; and that this proclamation and those changing the boundaries of the Tonto National Forest and the Coconino National Forest, which I have also signed this day, are made and are intended to be and shall be considered as one act to become effective simultaneously.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 14th day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-eighth.
