EXCLUDING FROM THE OPERATION OF THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION DATED JANUARY 25, 1907 AND AUGUST 30, 1916, AND OPENING TO DISPOSITION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF COMMONWEALTH ACT NUMBERED ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN, AS AMENDED, A PARCEL OF LAND SITUATED WITHIN THE BAGUIO TOWNSITE RESERVATION

WHEREAS, the findings of the Bureau of Mines show that the area sought to be excluded from the Baguio Townsite Reservation consisting of a ‘buffer zone” between the eastern boundary of Camp John Hay Reservation and the city limits of Baguio on the east side, appears to be highly mineralized;
WHEREAS, under the provisions of section fourteen of Commonwealth Act Numbered One hundred and thirty-seven, as amended, otherwise known as the Mining Act, lands within the reservation for purposes other than mining, which, after such reservation is made, are found to be more valuable for their mineral contents than for the purpose for which the reservation was made, may be withdrawn from such reservations by the President with the concurrence of the Congress of the Philippines;
