Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904 : Saint Louis, Mo.)
SECTION I. The Exposition Company will organize, equip, and
maintain an efficient police system for the protection of
property and the preservation of peace and good order.
SEC. II. The exposition will maintain a corps of janitors and
scavengers, whose duty it will be to properly care for and clean
the roadways, approaches, paths, etc., in general of the
exposition and the aisles within the exhibit buildings; but
their duties and responsibilities will not extend to exhibit
spaces, to the subsidiary aisles, or to the buildings of foreign
or domestic governments or individuals.
SEC. III. Exhibitors may employ watchmen and janitors of their
choice to guard and care for their material during the hours the
exposition is open to the public. Such watchmen will be subject
to the rules and regulations governing employees of the
exposition; but no exhibitor will be permitted to employ
attendants for service of this character except upon the written
consent of the chief of the department, approved by the director
of exhibits.
SEC. IV. Each country, commission, organization, corporation and
individual, by becoming an exhibitor, agrees to conform to all
the rules and regulations established for the government and
conduct of the exposition.
ARTICLE XXII.
AWARDS.
SECTION I The system of awards will be competitive. The merit of
exhibits as determined by the jury of awards will be manifested
by the issuance of diplomas, which will be divided into four
classes; a grand prize, a gold medal, a silver medal, and a
bronze medal.
SEC. II. No exhibit can be excluded from competition for award
without the consent of the president of the Exposition Company,
after a review of the reasons or motives by competent
authorities hereafter to be provided.
SEC. III. In a fixed ratio to the number of exhibits, but
reserving to the citizens of the United States approximately 60
per cent of the jury membership, the construction of the
international jury will be based upon a predetermined number of
judges allotted to each group of the classification and upon the
number and importance of the exhibits in such group.
SEC. IV. A chairman of the group jury will be elected by his
colleagues in each group, this chairman to become, by right of
his position, a member of the department jury, which department
jury shall in turn elect its chairman, who shall thereupon
become a member of the superior jury.
SEC. V. Special rules and regulations governing the system of
making awards and determining the extent to which foreign
countries may have representation on the juries will be
hereafter promulgated.
