A Commission! was ai)pointed to have charge of the matter and Colonel Villa- Ion is the President of the Commission. The Commission has announced a com- petition, open to Cuban and foreign sculptors, who are requested to submit their designs for this monument. The Commission has issued a book which specifies the rules under which designs are to be submitted by sculp- tors. These designs must be submitted be- fore March 31, 1918. Three prizes will be awarded for the best designs submitted: First prize -510,000 Second prize 5,000 Third prize 2,000 The Commission has determined that the site of the statue will be in the center of the Parque de Colon. The book which the Committee has issued is very beautifully printed and contains a biography of General Gomez, many photo- graphs of the General, and also gives much information which would be of value to the sculptors in making their designs.
