15. The superior jury
shall determine finally and fully the
awards to be made to exhibitors
and collaborators in all cases
that are formally presented
for its consideration.
Formal notification of the
awards shall, in each case, be sent
by the president of the jury
to the exhibitors at the place of
their respective exhibits.
If, for any reason, an award is not satisfactory to an exhibitor, he may file written notice to that effect with the president of the jury within three days after the date of the official notification of the award; and this notice shall be followed, within seven days after said date, by a written statement setting forth at length his views as to wherein the award is inconsistent or unjust.
In the adjustment of differences and in considering the recommendations of the department juries, the superior jury may provide for hearings of members of the department jury and of exhibitors, but in no case shall it be required to consider matters which have not been regularly presented as heretofore provided.
16. The work of the superior jury shall be completed on October 15, 1904, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, formal public announcement of the awards shall be made. A final complete list of awards shall be published by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of the act of Congress, and section 6, Article XXII, of the rules and regulations.
17. A committee, consisting of the president and the four vice-presidents of the superior jury, shall continue the work of the superior jury as long as may be found necessary after that jury has disbanded.
This committee shall have charge of the preparation, collection, and publication of the official list of awards and shall make the necessary provisions for the proper distribution of the awards.
18. The deliberations of all juries shall be strictly secret.
The president of the Exposition
Company, the director of
exhibits, and the chiefs of
departments shall have the privilege
of attending any sessions
of the several juries.
A majority of any jury shall,
in all cases, render and confirm a
decision.
19. The exhibits of persons serving as jurors or alternates over groups embracing their exhibits shall be classed as noncompetitive and shall not be examined by the juries. This rule applies to managers, agents, or others representing a company or corporation which is entered as an exhibitor. It does not, however, apply to the officers or representatives of governments which are entered as exhibitors.
20. Each regular exhibitor
may receive an award, although his
exhibit be joined with that
of others in a single installation.
