The Lands of Antigua & Barbuda Sugar Factory Limited and the Antigua & Barbuda Syndicate Estates Limited (Vesting) Act were passed by the Antiguan government the same year, and they stated that "all piece or parcel of land forming part of Cedar Valley, approximately 240.225 acres as contained in Certificate of Title No. 1111940 dated 26th April, 1940 and registered in Register Book P Folio 11" fell under their purview.
According to a Certificate of Title with the number 1111940 issued April 26, 1940, the Cedar Valley's lands totaled 240.2 acres. Folio 11 of Register Book P. Gunthorpes Estates, Ltd., was reorganized on August 1 into a new business and given the name Antigua Syndicate Estates, Ltd. (see Gunthorpes (#64)). Cassada Garden, Cedar Valley, Fitches Creek, and North Sound, the original company's holdings, were purchased for £30,700, and Delaps (#137) was acquired for £7,734.
