The Kosciusko Monument

Dziennik Chicagoski, Jan. 5, 1897

According to information reaching our offices, the directors of the Kosciusko Monument Fund decided, at a meeting held on December 31, to accept the bid for erecting the monument sent in from Cracow by the artist Chopzinski. The cost of this work is estimated at $16,000.

The artist is to come to Chicago and personally supervise the construction of the monument.

The directors are making every effort to collect the necessary funds. A special play, "Zwiazkowiec" (A Polish Nationalist), written by Zbigniew Brodowski, is to be staged within the near future. The proceeds are to go to the Monument Fund.

The St. Martin Society, of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, contributed ten dollars. Further contributions are welcomed.
