church. Richer, indeed, than many Of
the great corporations of the land

DIR. William I. Manning became the
rector of the church things have
changed. DR.. Manning maintains that
there is legitimate public interest in
the details of the wealth and manage

wouldn't know that Trinity's wealth
amounts to $75,00O,000.
OF course this isn't all in churches,
chapels and cemeteries, though prob

estimation of the value, the estimate

Recently DR.. Manning had the hold

chapels; and the figures revealed that
the city assesses the property which
is held for investment at $15,000,000.
This assessment is scarcely two-thirds
