PALMrRA. April Ii, lS5


Mr.. EDITOR An article in Il.
Herald of April IL. headed "Csutio,
to Dealers in City Interests" An,
signed by one B. c. Westfall, will !,
all probability attract the attention n
all who are fond of amusement a,d
may, by the more candid. be viexed
in a serious light.
we wish to say to such, that u,
Palmyra Association are ignorant Of
the facts therein stated. He saws !.
1855. the town of Palmyra was survey.
ed into lots, several of which wer
donated to persons who built upO.
them" DC. Now if the writer had Bee.
a member of the Association, espec;.
ally its secretary, he would have know
that the town was not surveyed. Nc,
any plan made thereof until the pss
winter, consequently no lots wer e'dOp.
a,ed,' and those who built upon them.
did so in anticipation of a town being
laid out, and the buildings that we,s
erected are now standing upon streets
as laid out since their erection, and a.
no progress was made in building
town, The occupants left and sought
business elsewhere, and the whole bro.
iect was suspended until the winter Of
1861, when ali the associates, in
company with others. forme the pre-.
sent Association, and proceeded to
survey the place and make plan Of
the town.
Several new members have since
been admitted, and recently, this same
Mr. Westfall came before the Assoei.
alton. Notwithstanding its bogus char.
acter, and asked to be recognised as
one of the original members, claiming
TO have been admitted under its old
organization. As no record Of bis
admission could be found, a Commit.
tee was raised to investigate the case,
who, on examination. found that he
never had been admitted, and no meet.
ing of the associates had been called,
but that Dir. Westfall had, when in
company with three OF the members,
proposed joining. which was objected
by one OF the number. They then
proceeded to organize into a meeting.
making Mr.. Westfall secretary, aud
to transact business in legal manner.
'baSed on solid foundation" HI.
WestfalPs consistency is very clearly
seen. in claiming right IN bogus A.
soeiation also IN acknowledging his
! interest in the town AMI still holding
the Office OF secretary.
1t is to be presumed that those "ofi-
cars" o. whom Mr.. w. speaks. as BE-
ing in the States, selling shares" Of
the legal Association, have right SO
to 10. providing they can find pur-
cha>ers and in the words oi Mr. w,
"If those purchasers are willing to
expend their money upon such pro-
misses. they are welcome to do So"
Ii Mr.. Weotfall had undertaken TO
enIighten the world before he was on
the eve of leaving ior California. (a'
rumor says he is about to do,9 be
might have been able to throw some
light upon this senseless production,
which IAN no way be construed but to
his disadvantage, except on the scof'
of insanity.
Should his illegal agents" now ia
the States selling shares, succeed il
selling ont all the Stock in the Ltga
Corporation, it is to be hoped he wiI
allow the bogus Association to carr
on their business uHmOlested, unlesI
his "dnty to the public" should re
quire repetition OF his "Caution."
