ST. JAMES vEsTRY TO
DISCUSS CHURCH SALE

in Erection of New Struc-
ture.

Vestrymen Of st. James Episcopal
church will meet Tuesday night to
discuss plans regarding the proposed
sale of the church building and site
on North Fifth ~treet near Broad
preparatory to removing to the west
end.
There Is a large sentiment In the
church, 1t is said. In favor of utilizing
most of the material in the edifice for
building purposes when the rrcw
church on West Franklin street OPP
pcsite Richmond College is erected.
and il is for sentimental reasons that
many OF the members desire to see
this done.
In such an event. only the site of
the church on Fifth street would
likely be offered for gale.
Whether the church is to be sold
se parately or with the site as a whole
is one of the questions to which the
vestrymen will devote special attention
1t is understood.
Two colored Baptist churches In
the city are reported TO be eager 20
purchase the church. This report
however. was denied BY q yestryman

The report was to the effect that

Governor Mann has been urged by

facts.
Several weeks ago attorneys repre-
