Each member was to pay $130 for each share of stock subscribed by him to be paid to William R Collins, Ira Tillotsow and John Mulks, who were to go to Michigan locate a town site and adjacent territory for farms at the government price of $1.25 per acre. The scheme probably fell through. See bound volumes of the Ithaca Journal for 1824–1825 +c
