In 1920, the legislature allocated $200 for the local Court House and Jail House. It also granted to the Compagnie des Cables Sud Americains, the rights to construct and operate an aerial line of telegraphic communication between Grand Cape Mount and Blieron in the French Ivory Coast to be completed by July 31, 1921 and operated for 35 years.
The legislature set the penalty for violating the city charter at between $50 and $500.
