MANRO FERNANDEZ, Secretary to Presidential Palace , San José , June 19, 1884 . Let it be executed. P. FERNANDEZ, June 19, 1884

Law No. 20 of the 19th of June, 1884, repealing law No. 6 of the 22d of May, 1883, by which Limon was made a free port.

The Constitutional Congress of the Republic of Costa Rica, considering that the law of the 22d of May, 1883, has not had the results that were expected of it, but has produced grave prejudice to the customs revenue and to commerce in general; that this revenue being assigned to the payment of the internal debt, whose prompt cancellation is of lively interest to the country, decrees:

Sole article. Said law No. 6 of the 22d of May, 1883, is repealed. (1) The Executive shall provide the necessary regulation for the custom-houses and customs guards. (2) The Executive shall equip two small steam-cruisers for watching the Atlantic coast.

Given in the hall of sessions of the national palace, at San José, the 19th day of June, 1884.
