, 55. Tlie original estimates for tliis bnilding were fonr thonsand six hnndred and fifty dollars, exclusive of the land. But at various times more money was expended even by our prudent fathers. In the month of April, 1808, the vestry of Trinity Church presented to the corporation of St. Stephen's, in bonds and cash, seven thousand two hundred and fifty-four dollars and fifty-eight cents, to meet some special pressing demand on this body. In the same year Trinity Church gave to this church thr...ee lots of land, one situated on Greenwich, and two on Warren street. These lots yielded, in 1809, four Inindred dol- lars per annum. They are still in the possession of this church, and constitute the only certain income to meet its current expenses. The leases expired a few years since, and on their release, under tlie judicious counsel of a member of the ves- try, they have been made to yield much more. And here let me acknowledge, once for all, the debt of gra- titude this church owes to the venerable corporation of Trinity Church.
