FATE OF FRENCH STATUES TO BE DEOIDED TOMORROW

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

G. H. Parker, chairman of the Art Commission of the City of Boston, announced yesterday that a meeting of the members of the Commission will take place tomorrow to decide whether or not the City of Boston will take over one of the statues now on the cast facade of the Boston Post Office.

Whether or not the Fogg Art Museum acquires both of the groups of statuary which have graced the east facade of the Boston Post Office for the last 50 years will probably be determined by the decision of the Art Commission of the City of Boston as to whether or not it plans to keep one of the statues in Boston.

If the decision is made not to keep one of the groups of statuary of D. C. French, both works of art will probably be brought to Cambridge, as a result of the offer made Sunday night by Professor J. H. Sachs to preserve both the statues at Harvard if the City of Boston did not wish to keep them.
