A RICH CORPORATION.

Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix has issued q
statement concerning the income of the
Corporation of Trinity Church, New
York, which places the amount received
from all sources, excepting collection in
the churches, at s775, ,OO0a year. 1t has
been reported for many years that
Trinity's income amounts iuto the mill
ions and the corporation was said TO be
the largest single owner of real estate
10 New York.
No facts are given ont as to the prop
erty beld by Trinity. but the statement
sets forth that there are only three ga
looms on the estate, one in high-clsss
restaurant and two on lots where long
leases are said to put the control oil the
properly out Of the corporations man
agement.
Hermann Fl. Csmmann, comptroller
of the Trinity Corporation, says 1t would
be difficult to give the real amount OF
the church's holdings at this time.
The property first consisted of the Queens g
Farm and the Queens Garden, which
we're granted by Queen Anne in l7O5.
Much OF this, he says. has been given
TO other churches and sold TO individ-
usls.
DR.. Dix says Trinity keeps up its
eight chapels, pays clergymen, musl-
clans, keeps up schools and parish
charities, etc., and chat 1927, 600 was
paid last year to the city In taxes and
water rates and $lS5, 600 was paid for
insurance premiums and repair on prop
erty other than that Of churches.
The corporation has outstanding loans
of 1865, 900 to other churches, on which
it does not draw interest.
DR.. Dix's statement appeared 10 the
annual report of Trinity parish, Just
made public, and he says it is given
10 contradict reports of the vast income
Of the corporation.
"No gambling or other Objectionable
houses exist on any Of the corporations
property" the statement says.
