Reports of the Select Committee of the Senate : On the Affairs of Trinity Church, with the Testimony Relative Thereto (Classic Reprint). New York
Excerpt from Reports of the Select Committee of the Senate: On the Affairs of Trinity Church, With the Testimony Relative Thereto
The evidence shows that two of the assistant ministers of the parish "have made several efforts to obtain such a list unsuccessfully;" that the list is kept "in the joint charge of the comptroller and rector;" that one who has been a vestryman for six years has seen only "one list of the corporators, which was kept by Dr. Berrian at an election;" that another, who had been a vestryman for ten years, had "never seen a list of the corporators;" and, he added, that "the vestrymen were not allowed to see it, that he knew of;" and also that the comptroller himself, as appears in his evidence, though "presuming" that the names were in his office promised to furnish a copy of them to your committee, only in case he was authorized to do so by "the committee of the vestry."
The vestry, however, not considering their objections to giving the names as "of sufficient importance to induce them to withhold making answer," they supply the omitted lists of names, which will be found in Schedule A, appended to the supplements "These lists," the vestry add, "are believed to be accurate" They state in the report that those who have removed too far from the parish church and chapels to continue to worship therein, are "of course, not enumerated among the corporators, because they are not entitled to vote." It must, therefore, be an oversight, that among the names contained in these lists "believed to be accurate," there are those of persons who have removed from the city, and also of others who have long been dead - some of them for years.
In regard to the fewness of the corporators entitled to vote for the managers of this large property, the vestry, in their report set forth the probability of an increase, from the late increase of parochial work. They added: "A like increase may also be expected from the persons worshiping in the new Trinity Chapel, lately erected, who for the space of one year shall have been members of the congregation of that chapel.
