Councilman Charles II. Francisco of Brooklyn.
said Yesterday that the resolution he will Introduce
al to-day's session OF the City Council would prob-
ably provide for a statue of Andrew Carnegie in
each of the five horoughs instead OF for a single
statue.
After consulting with number Of people" said
Nj. Francisco yesterday. Il am convinced that
jeaolsies viii be avoided II each borough has
statue. Of course the final recommendations Of the
committee - be appointed by the Mayor viii have
good deal 10 DO with shaping matters The resolu-
tion viii 20 70 The proper committee, and there viii
e plenty ot time to discuss the whole subject. The
gift from Mr.. Carnegie is magnificent that II
strikes ne the city should show recognition

probably be donated ~ public spirited citizens The
matter Of expense IS thing 10 be considered. OF
course but think that every one OF the boroughs
will feel that the cost Of statue IS only partial
recognition os Mr. Carnegie's unparalleled gener-
osity to the people OF New-York City.
The announcement that Councilman Francisco Is
10 introduce resolution in the council to-day look
