Shops with their sanitary dangers.
The corporation believes there is a large
field for work in the Improvement and
management of existing houses in New
York city. In it's own case, viewed as
a business investment, the returns are
not large. The land is directly north
and northwest of the business district.
The fact that the houses are old and sub
ject to the wear and tear resulting from
their being occupied by families with a
number of children makes the expenses for
repairs large. In spite Of all this the cor
porati0n has not made an increase in a
quarter Of century in the rents charged
in it's dwelling houses.
The rents In the Trinity houses vary be-
tween wide limits. number of attrac-

a month for the entire house. The low
est rents in apartments in three-family
houses are 81 a month for three rooms.
The highest apartment rents are SIG per

Display Of Charts Proposed at Com
ing Congress Of Hygiene and
Demography.

The exhibition of great church in the
roll of lanlord will be one Of the strik-
ing features at the International Con-
gress Of Hygiene and Demography which
opens here tomorrow and will continue
to October 5. Trinity Church of New
York, one of the most famous congrega-
uons in the United States, has sent to
the hygiene congress an exhibit consist
ing of models of the dwellings Of which
Trinity is landlord and also models of
typical rooms. back yards and playing
centers. Accompanying the models and
numerous photographs there are graphic
charts showing the results of the
church's welfare work among its tenants
and in the neighborhood.
The exhibition shows that Trinity
Church is now the landlord over 366
some $50 families. One Of the charts
shows that over 80 per cent Of the
families have occupied Trinitys houses
from five to fifty years. Another chart
shows the reason for this preference.
Over 6S per cent of the houses owned
by the church are occupied by one or
two families.
The story of Trinity's ownership of
dwelling houses is closely bound up with
early history on Manhattan Island From
time to time parcels Of land were ten
dered to Trinity by wealthy Pensioners.
AS the population of New York increased
houses were erected by individuals who
leased the land from the church When
the lease expired Trinity became owner
of the houses and had to undertake the
management of the property or turn hun
dreds Of families into the street.
Not Ordinary Tenements.
With the exception Of ten buildings
erected as model tenements, none Of the
houses was built by Trinity Corporation.
The buildings are small not in any sense
tenements of the ordinary New York
type, and are usually not tenements even
according to the legal definition = that
is, houses for three or more families in
each. They belong to an older period be-
fore the crowded tenement became the
common type Of new residence building
in the borough Of Manhattan.

Corporation radical improvements are

dwellings on the lotO have been found,
these have been removed. There are now
no such houses on Trinity's land.
stories in height and cover less than one
half the lot. The low buildings with big
yards, making large open spaces in the
center of the block. have abundant light
and air for the back rooms. as well as
those facing the street.
Believing that these houses. with their
large rooms and abundant yard space, are
of especial value to families with children
the corporation welcomes these as tenents
in spite of the fact that this considerably
increases the amount OF repair and reno
walton work constantly required. The only
limitation enforced in this regard in ad-
mitting tenant to its dwellings is that the
families shall not be too large for the
quarters occupied.
