THE FREE BRIDGE AGAIN.

MajOr Lydecker Echoes the Senii.
ment of His Brother Commissions
ers.
Engineer Commissioner Lydecker was seen
by CRITIC reporter this afternoon and asked
for his views on the all absorbing free bridge
question.
1--WE believe tho question to be simply this"
said he. "That the cost of q new bridge at tho
Sisters will be greater than is anticipated, and
IL is highly doubtful whether II could be paid
for from the amount stated In the bill before
Congress for that purpose. The Commission
ers also consider that the District could re.
ceive no commensurate return for such an
outlay as would be required OF It.
And further, II the expenses are to be consid
cred rs part OF the general expenses OF tho
District as provided In the House bill, 1t Will
necessitate taking funds that the Commission
ers have designated for more import.
ant improvoments-as they regard. 1t
sewer and street improvements.
We believe that a free bridge Is desirable and
the scheme can be accomplished at less OK
pense than building one at the Three Sisters"
he continued. "If anything is to be done In
this direction the Commissioners would favor
the reconstruction OF the Aqueduct Bridge aud
uso the old euperstructure.' sAsfsSN~

The Propostd Chesapeake d Ohio
| Canal lease.

Ihc Proposed chesapeake & OHIO
Canal lease.
The Annapolis correspondent OF tho Balu-
more Sun says: sit has been stated that tho
trustees OF the bondholders OF the Chesapeake
g. Ohio Canal Company have memorIalized the
Legislature on the subject OF the preferred
debt OF the company, and asked for a lease OF
the canal as means OF llquidating that debt.
In some quarters 1t is held that tho state has
no power TO authorize lease, having IRE.
vocably committed the canal TO the manage
ment OF tho Board Of Public Works, as per
second section OF the twelfth article OF tho
constitution. In reply to this objection a gem
tleman well posted on the subject says: "rhe
law under which this canal debt was created
Is older than the present Constitution, and
10 one OF the laws reserved as In exist.
cnce at the timo the Constitution was
adopted, and any infringement or impeachment
TO It's force and effect how by the Constitution
must be regarded as impairing the obligation
OF q contract, which Is forbidden by the Con-
stitution OF the United States. But the first
section OF the Constitution of Maryland APP
pears to have been 80 carefully worded as to
save tho State from being placed in that attl.
tude. 1t is as follows: 'The Board OF Public
Works shall meet quarterly, at
which sessions they shall hear and determine
such matters as affect the public works of the
State, and as the General Assembly may con-
fer upon them the power 10 decide. Hero Is
full grant to the General Assembly, and places
the responsibility upon the General Assembly.

A Wealthy Church.

The financial operations of the wealthiest
religious corporation in America are not
without interest to the general public. From
the year book of Trinity Church, New York
city, Just issued is ascertaiDed that the total
income of the corporation during 1888 was
not far from half million of dollars. This
vast revenue went to support the mother
church and several chapels, employing lS
clergymen, organists, 100 choristers, IL SEX
tons and their assistants. The chapels are
st. Paul's, st. Johns, st. Augustine's, St.
Chrysostom' s, st. Luke's and Trinity Chapel,
in Twenty-sixth street. The corporation, IN
addition to their chapels, maintains system
of daily schools, employing twenty-slx teach
ers, together with Sunday and industrial
schools, and institutions for the relief of tSf-
sick and poor. Its real estate in varioQ ne
of the city comprises seven bupasssT parts
lots, in the management, "a ,ppt.ured and fifty
keepers are emplovafd tot which eight book
troller and cects wed, together with comp.
taxafuad Cr-onsulting counsel. The annual
Ases on the church property is not far from
$4,000. The old burial grounds ofthe church
at the head of Wall street, ST. Pauls chapel,
and st. Johns bring in no revenue, but are
a continual source ofexpense in keeping them
in order. In the up town cemetery (near
Harlem river) the estimated cost OF necessary
repairs for the current year exceeds by $50,
900 the income derived from the sale OF plots.
Upon the venerable corporation" likewise
devolve the expenses of the annual Do
cesar Convention, contributions to the sup
port of the Bishop, and assistance to various
mission churches, in and in the neighborhood
of the city of New York.
