217. Liberian Government eliminates all reference to “municipal corporation” referred to in Department’s No. 139, December 16, 9 p.m. Recommends “there be incorporated in article 5 that board of directors or port authority shall be composed of joint and equal membership of Americans and Liberians in the nature of a company or corporation to be organized and operated under the laws of Liberia with the right to make contracts, sue and be sued, plead or be impleaded in any court of Liberia.”
Prompt reply would be appreciated.
