To The Pablie,
WoRLy's COLUMBIAX Exvosrrios,
Cuicaco, March 80, 1893, —To the
Public; Because of many misrepresen-
tations and misstatements relative to
Exposition management and affairs
being in circulation through the press
and otherwise, both in this country
and abroad, and in reply to many let-
ters of inquiry or complaint touching
the same matters, it seems advisable
that some official statement regarding
them should be made to the public.
Therefore I respectfully ask that the
widest publicity be given to the fol-
lowing facts:
1. The Exposition will be opened
in readiness for visitors May 1.
2. An abundance of drinking water,
the best supplied to any great city in
the world, will be provided free to all.
The report that a charge would be
made for drinking water probably
arose from the fact that hygeia water
can also be had by those who may de-
sire it at one cent a glass,
Ample provisions for seating
will be made without charge.
i 1,500 toilet
3.
i. About rooms and
closets will be located at convenient
points in the buildings and about the
grounds, and they will be absolutely
free to the public. This is as large a
number in proportion to the estimated
attendance as has ever been provided
in any exposition. In addition to
these there will be nearly an
equal number of lavatories and toilet
rooms of a costly and handso me char-
acter as exhibits, for the use of which
a charge of five cents will be made.
The admission fee of 50 cents
will entitle the visitor to see and enter
all the Exposition buildings, inspect
the exhibits, and, in short, to see
everything within the Exposition
grounds, except the Esquimau Vil
lage and the reproduction of the Col-
orado cliff dwellings. For those as
well as for the special attractions on
Midway Plaisance a small fee will be
charged.
5. Imposition or extortion of any
description will not be tolerated.
7. Free medical and emergency
hospital service is provided on the
grounds by the Exposition manage-
ment.
8. The Bureau of Public Comfort
will provide commodious free waiting-
rooms, including spacious ladies’ par-
lor and toilet rooms in various parts
of the grounds.
