These concerns have been unusually

Bishop Cannot Make Ends
Meet On $4,000 a Year

London. June 2S.-Is it possible
for a lord bishop-for the lord
bishop of London. in fact-to live
and maintain his episcopal dignities
on $4,000 a year? We have the
testimony of the present incumbent
of that highest of ecclesiastical Of
fees in England that decidedly it is
not possible.
The Right Rev. Arthur Foley Win
ningfon Ingram. K. C. V. o., D.
D., IL, dean of the chapels royal,
pre1ate of the Order of the British
Empire and since 1901 incumbent
of the See of London, referring in a
session of the diocesan conference
to "the clergy's starvation pay" an
nounced to the CONSERVATION of
many that he had found it necessary
to put London House, one of his
two town residences, upon the mar
ket in order that he might keep
Fulham Palace going.
The lord bishop promised that he
would make supreme effort to
maintain Fulham Palace in full dig
nifty as his episcopal residence. mas
much as this ancient pile had been
historic possession of the church
for 1900 years. But he could not be
certain even of this accomplishment
in the face of the high cost of living.
To support his plea of an income
insufficient to maintain his estate as
his predecessors had done the
bishop of London placed before the
conference frank excerpt from his
yearly balance sheet. Given in
terms of dollars it runs thus:
Income ................$ $4,000
Income tax ............ l5.OOO
Super-tax .............. $500
Rates, taxes and insurance 10000
This indicates an "overhead" of
S32,500 for the lord bishop of Lon
don. leaving him Sl7,500 with which
to do the following things:
Maintain Fulham Palace and
gardens.
Maintain London House.
Support a staff of 10 servants,
