Of Epiphany Chapel,
lin Use for 81 Years

served the closing of Epiphany
Chapel, Twelfth and c streets S.W.,
after 81 years.
Nearly 100 parishioners of long
standing membership attended the
last regular service to hear the Rev
Charles w. Sheerin, rector of the
Church of the Epiphany, 1917 G
street NV, bid the chapel farewell
DR.. Sheerin told the congregation
it could be proud of the contribu-
tions Epiphany Chapel has made in
the fields of worship and socal serv-
ice.
The chapel, part of Epiphany
parish, was built 81 years ago or
what was then. called "The Island.
In 1891 the present brick church
replaced the earlier frame structure
Gradually Government buildings
took over the neighborhood and the
church members moved away. The
church property eventually will be
condemned for Government use. The
Rev. Francis Yarnall. who retired
from the ministry in September, was
vicar of the chapel for the last 1a
years.
DR.. Sheerin said the chapel will
not be deconsecrated at present nor
will the church furnishings be re-
moved. He said special services will
continue to be held. The regular
work conducted there, however, will
be centered at the Church OF the
Epiphany.

0ff-Street Parking
Cih's Responsibility,
RoadbuiIders Told

Private interests no longer, can
be depended on to provide adequate
off street parking in congested
downtown areas, Robert A. Mitchell
of Philadelphia declared this morn
ing at the opening forum of the
American Roadbuilders' Conference,
Municipal Division, held at the VIII
lard Hotel.
Adequate off-street parking is a
municipal responsibility that must
be shouldered If downtown property
values are to be maintained, the
Philadelphia city engineer contin-
ued. Mr.. Mitchell advocates mu-
nicipal ownership Of parking lots
and garages, pointing out that these
can then be leased to private opera
tors.
TN downtown Philadelphia dur
ing business hours" he continued,
"a driver must compete with 10000
others for parking lot or garage
Joseph Barnett, chief of the
Urban Roads Division, Public Roads
Administration, outlined a five point
program for urban road improve
ments. 'There are now 10000
more cars on Americas roads than
before the war;" he said. Urban
congestion is increasing geometri-
cally, not automatically"
Mr.. Barnett advocates careful
study and adoption of long-range
traffic programs for urban areas.
"Sure-fire cures" he said have a
habit of fading when all traffic facts
have been gathered"
In commenting on new street con-
struction, Mr.. Barnett said cities
now must recognize the necessity of
providing homes for tenants dis
possessed by right-of-way changes.
James S. Devlin, public works
administrator for Pittsburgh, in a
discussion of future street improve
ments, declared, Most cities today
have antinuated hIIildinp codes"
