Central Railway at Rue du Quai, Joseph Davilmar Théodore Government

Here is a picture of Central Railway at Rue du Quai during the government of Joseph Davilmar Théodore

Haiti had amassed a very large debt and Borno asked for a loan of $23 million to resolve it. He used the money to make infrastructure improvements, which included:

Road work
Rehabilitation of irrigation canals
Building of hospitals, schools, and public buildings
Availability of drinking water and telephones
Established an agricultural school and low-cost education nation-wide

Borno, however, would not hold free and fair elections. Instead the State Council re-appointed him in 1926. Borno ruled until 1930 when an American commission organized free elections and an interim president, Louis Eugene Roy, was sworn in.

In 1942 at the age of 76 Borno died in Petion-Ville.
