The aggregate amount of the gifts, loans and grants of Trinity Church, rating the lands at their present prices, considerably exceeds TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, a sum more than equal, in the opinion of competent judges, to two-thirds of the value of the estate which remains.
The income of this remaining part, however, bears no proportion to its actual value. About one-half of it was leased out at an early period on mere nominal rents, amounting only to $400 per annum. It is also encumbered with a heavy debt of about $440,000, the annual interest upon which is $24,802 31-100. And the gross revenue of the Corporation of Trinity Church, from ground rents, pew rents, and every other source, has never, in any one year, reached a higher point than $57,932 37-100, leaving a net income of only $33,130 2-100, (much less than that of several wealthy individuals in this great metropolis,) to meet the ordinary expenses of the Parish, the annual allowances to most of the Churches in this City, and the extravagant expectations of those, both here and elsewhere throughout the State, who seem to think that there is no limit to its means.
