The WEALTH OF TRINITY CHURCH CORPORATION.
It is stated that the corporation of Trinity Church
originally owned two thousand and sixtyeight lots, OF
which, since the year 174S $ls lots have been given
awav 6sl remain and 1859 have been Sold yet owing
to the rapid rise of property in the city Of New York.
the value of the SCI lots remaining is many times
greater than was originally that Of the whole
TheseIots now form the most valuable real estate IN
the first, third, fifth, eighth and ninth wards
On the last of May 1866, the leases which Mr. Astor
obtained Of the corporation Of immense portion OF
the property will expire. By this circumstance the
corporation will have full control Of real estate in the
most profitable part Of the city WORTH 1t is estimated
over six millions of dollars.
The Aston lease includes $50 lots, which we're let In
the year 1916 Is cents per lot for term OF ninety
years The lots are of course, all occupied by build
ngs which yield generally high rents Some IDEA OF the
amount drawn from the Of these buildings may De
realised when it is known that Mr. Astors income last
year as returned in the internal revenue office OF the
sixth district, was over 81 100000.
In few years all the leases given by Trinity TO
various parties will expire and the property will revert
back to the corporation The value OF the whole real
estate will then it is said notfall far short OF twenty
millions of dollars.
