The States of Arizona and New Mexico received additional shares 

 of National Forest receipts for their school funds, on account of 

 school lands included within National Forests, as follows: To Ari- 

 zona, paid in the fiscal year 1916 from the receipts of 1915, $28,966.46, 

 and payable from the receipts of 1916, $31,046.12; to New Mexico, 

 paid in the fiscal year 1916 from the receipts of 1915, $9,311.87, and 

 payable from the receipts of 1916, $10,329. 



ACQUISITION OF LANDS. 



On recommendation of the Forest Service, the National Forest 

 Reservation Commission approved for purchase during the year 

 under the act of March 1, 1911, 54,898 acres in the Southern Ap- 

 palachians and White Mountains. The total approved and being 

 acquired is now 1,329,487 acres, of which 706,974.50 acres have been 

 acquired. On 143,247.67 acres condemnation proceedings are pend- 

 ing. The remainder awaits the completion of survey or title examina- 

 tion. These lands are being placed under administration and their 

 resources developed as rapidly as they are acquired. 



Continuation of the purchase policy was provided for by a new 

 appropriation of $3,000,000, expendable for this purpose during the 

 fiscal years 1917 and 1918.
