 installation of exhibits, the arrangements for transportation to and from

 set apart for the salaries of employees and the expenses of each of the 

 said commissions, and the chief executive officer, upon the requisition of 

 the respective commissions, may warrant and approve the several items of 

 expenditures within the limit here provided, which shall be necessary for 

 the proper conduct of the commissions. Weekly reports shall be made 

 to the chief executive officer of the progress of the work by each of the 

 said commissions. 



No member of said commissions shall receive any compensation for his

The Board of Women Managers shall consist of twenty-one women, 

 residents of the State, and appointed by the Board of General Managers. 

 They are to work in conjunction with the general managers in promoting 

 the interests of the World's Columbian Exposition, and to assist the repre- 

 sentative women of the nation in obtaining for that occasion a full and 

 complete portrayal of the industrial and social conditions of woman and

 General Managers, and shall have such clerical aid as the chief executive
