la,cyer, and others who wish TO see the
law on the subject, the 9Th section OF the
act en.i.led An Act to provide for the re-
cording of Town Lots approved January
25th, 1889, in accordance with which !
there acted:
"Sec. S. When the plat or map shall
have been made out, and certified, and &C
knoxledged and rrrbsSsd.As rt40lEd by
this act, every donation or grant to the
public, or any individual or individuals,
religious society or societies. Or TO any
corporation or bodies polite. marked or
noted as such on said map or plat, shall
be deemed in law and in equity sufi-
cient conveyance to vest the fee simple of
all such parcel or parcels sof land, as are
therein expressed. and shall be considered
to all intents and purposes. general war
ranty against such donor or donors. gram
lee or grantees, for his, her, or their use,
for the uses and purposes therein named.
expressed. and intended to be, for the
streets, alleys, ways, commons. or other
public uses, in any town or city, or addi-
ton thereto, shall be held in the corporate
name thereof, in trust TO and for the uses
and purposes set forth, expressed or in
tended"
In mister parvin's first article. land
the same expression is repeated in his
last, } he says. from this the reader will
perceive that Foster. citizen of the town
claims, and legally holds. THAT is the le-
gal tile is in him) all the wharf from Pap>
posse creek to the bluff, and all the most
important streets and alleys of the town.
The law above quoted, aud the plat in the
Recorders office prove this statement to
be false. How many more falsehoods
will your sub>editor allow me TO fas'en
upon him? Write again soon mister
parvin,' and will try TO answer your
folly.
Were the town to demand of the coun-
ty deed to the courthouse square, and
actually sue for it, believe the county
would be iuslifable in Withholding the
deed. especially if the county had reason
TO believe the town would apply it TO 9TH
er uses and purposes. set forth, express
ed or Intended" as the corporation have
already commenced leasing the shore for
building purposes, l verify believe that
the corporation will not only be defeated
in their suit against me to procure deed
in fee-simple to this ground, out we're it
in my power to convey 10 the corporation
by deed, it would be wrong for me TO do
it, for they nave no more right to it, as l
said before, than the county, Territory or
United States. AS soon as am convinced
that am wrong, will correct my fault.
Will we'll disposed persons please read
'mister parvin's' articles and see how long
they think it will take him to convince me
,irat am all wrong, and he is all right
tina, l have no justice, no point 10 my
side, no side; for he says there is but one
side to the case
Paragraphs seventh, eighth, and ninth,
he says he don't believe paid the money.
This he considers interesting to the public.
Very well, suppose | must answer his
folly. If I should say | did pay all up
honestly for surveying. of course in his
mex. he will say it's false Well what
if he should! But his false statement
shall recoil upon his own head
Tenth and last paragraph, is generally
false as far as it relates 10 taxes and remu
neration: and have the papers TO prove
it so. Now mister parvin.' you are
lawyer-upon what principal of law or
equity would you decide tina. l ought not
to receive the same pay for the five last
lots that did for the FIVE first!
Again, what do you mean by that IS
standing out alone about the middle of the
paragraph?
am happy to avail myself of so con>
venient an opportunity to set in direpute
whatever that man has said, or may here.
after say upon this subject, for never in
my life saw so many items in one short
article so easily proved false. Had he
been prudent, fair and honest writer, he
might have placed me before the public
i'll very unpleasant position. And where
is there law case on which, if the At
torney would condescend to publish arti-
cles, pending its decision. they could not
show up the parties litigant in very un'
pleasant position, if not much to their in>
jury? Respectfully yours.
