Road to Royesville

In 1935, the legislature approved an additional $12,000 to cover expenses of the quadrennial election from Maryland, Sinoe, Grand Bassa and Grand Cape Mount counties.

That year, the legislature also appropriated $200 from the township funds of Royesville for the construction of a substantial bridge across the Fall Creek on the central and commercial road from Royesville through Little Cape Mount to Grand Cape Mount.

In 1937, the legislature approved the iron ore mining agreement entered into between the national government and the Noord Europeesche Erts en Pyriet Maatschappy of the Netherlands, with an amendment requiring the construction of a harbor at Monrovia or Cape Mount.
