any possible contingency is thus provided; the municipal authority be- 
ing upheld, if necessary, by the state troops, and the state, by the 
army of the United States, so that no apprehension need arise of 
losses resulting from lawlessness. 
14. Favorable facilities will be arranged by which exhib- 
itors or foreign commissions may insure their own goods. 
Note.—Special care has been taken to render everything about 
the Exposition as nearly fireproof as possible, and it is reasonably 
certain that the rates of insurance will not be excessive, but, on the 
contrary, very reasonable. Exhibitors may insure in any company, 
foreign or domestic. Arrangements will be made with English, 
French, German and American companies to fix uniform or special 
rates on exhibits and buildings, so that no advaatage will be taken of 
any exhibitor who wishes to insure his goods. 
Foreign commissions may employ watchmen of their own 
choice to guard their goods during the hours the Exhibition 
is open to the public, subject to the rules and regulations of 
the Exposition. 
15. Foreign commissions, or such agents as they may 
designate, shall be responsible for the receiving, unpacking 
and arrangement of objects, as well as for the removal at the 
close of the Exposition; but no person shall be permitted to 
act as such agent until he can give to the Director-General 
written evidence of his having been approved by. the proper 
commission. 
16. Each package must be addressed, ‘‘ To the Commis- 
sion (name of country) at the World’s Columbian Exposition, 
Chicago, United States of America,” and should have at least 
two labels affixed to different, but not opposite, sides of each 
case, and give the following information: 
17. (1) The country from which it comes; (2) Name of 
firm of the exhibitor; (3) Residence of the exhibitor; (4) De- 
partment to which objects belong; (5) Total number of 
packages sent by that exhibitor; (6) Serial number of that 
particular package. 
18. Within each package should be a list of all objects. 
19. If no authorized person is at hand to receive goods 
on their arrival at the Exposition buildings, they will be 
removed without delay, and stored at the risk and cost of 
whomsoever it may concern,
