adopted to govern the erection of state
buildings at the Worlds Columbian Expo

and all articles entered for awards must be
installed in the proper departments, for

position Company. This ruling does away
with an endless duplication of displays, and
gives each state fine opportunity to make
an extensive exhibit of its natural resources.
