a letter to the commission. He is OF
the opinion that extension of the 18th
street line would relieve the situa-

the commission. some suggestions re-
garding the crossing situations at 14th
and H and other downtown streets. He
SAYS:
Garry H street tracks across 18th
street to 18th street. down 18th to F.
This will not dispense with the cross
ing at 14th, but will make straight
crossing instead of a curved one. 1t
will not dispense with a crossing of the
New York avenue or G street line, but
will carry the one away from the dam
gerous complication of tracks at 14th
street and New York avenue, and the
other away from the vexatious compli-
cations at 14th and G and 14th and F
streets. The cars could turn from 18th
into F and return without a crossing,
and could run from G and 14th south
and return without crossing

Notes Result of Inquiry.

He said the census of salaries, now
completed. shows the following prn-
cipal facts:
There are 1920 men in the active
service of the Episcopal Church in the
United States. Their average salary Is
$1,000 year. This is not all cash, but
includes the value of a house. when
provided. More than $500 of these min
tiers, over one-half the total number,
receive less than $500 a year. Only
237, including the 125 bishops. receive
$4,000 or over.
More than 700 men are paid less than
$1,000. and many of these 700 are the
older clergy. with very hard tasks. The
church now is virtually carrying out a
scheme of retirement at the expense
of its older men.
These meager salaries are paid 70
clergymen serving what is often as
serted to be the richest church mem
bership in America. Those men are eX-
pected to have good education. to
dress we'll, to live and move among
people where rents are high. keep open

preserve their physical vigor. They are
men of devotion. who often exercise
leadership in their communities. and
who must support themselves. their
wives and their children on the sala-
ries paid them. with little or no
thought of outside interest.
