thirty-eight acres and sixty-hundredths of an acre, were reserved for
the use of the Kiowa and Comanche Indian Agency;

And whereas it appears that said land is no longer used or required for
use by said Indian agency, and that it adjoins the city of Anadarko,

Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States,

Congress of June 6, 1900, do hereby declare and make known that said
land is hereby restored to the public domain, to be disposed of to said
city for park purposes under said act of Congress approved September 30,
1890.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
