The plan called for Tower to use his legal acumen to clear all the liens and opposing claims to the Munson-Williams claim, and to all the land around it. In short, the partners hoped to create a single landed estate, which would have measured at its widest point in southwest Schuylkill County. In return, Tower was to receive ownership and title to one half of all the land acquired once all the cost to Munson had been settled, or until Tower paid him half the value of the total land purchase.
