Richmond. Va. July The vestry ot
St Johns Church, which is the oldest
continuous parish IN the United states,
seems to have won out I'm its contest
with Mayor Carlton Mccarthy for the
right 20 build chapel on the historic
church grounds. The privilege OF build
ing was several times passed by the city
council, but was always vetoed by the
mayor. the vote being sustained finally
by the council.
Mayor Mccarthy holds that he has 4
right TO maintain the integrity Of tho
church property on account Of It's historic
value. and because the building Of houses
on the land would deprive the congrega-
tion Of ground reserved for the purpose
Of burying the dead. The vestrymen
maintain that the property IS the prop
erty Of the church people. and that they
have a right 10 build whether the MAYOR
says so or not And this they will pro-
ceed 10 do.
