A.P. Robinson was removed from the office of Chief Engineer of the York and Cumberland Rail Road Company in May, 1851; F.O.J. Smith was removed as President in August. Each was removed after discovery of financial discrepancies. Smith retaliated with a pamphlet assailing the Board's conduct. This Statement by the Board thoroughly explains the reasons for his dismissal, with detailed lists of costs and estimates, and reports from Board meetings. Page 29 begins the thirty-page "Reply" to Smith's pamphlet, by Daniel Emery, of the Company's Treasury Office. He elaborates on the facts which led to Robinson's and Smith's dismissals.
