Eiffel Tower: "A Budget For The Exposition Was Passed And, On 1 May, Lockroy Announced An Alteration To The Terms Of The Open Competition Being Held For A Centrepiece To The Exposition, Which Effectively Made The Selection Of Eiffel's Design A Foregone Conclusion, As Entries Had To Include A Study For A 300 M (980 Ft) Four-Sided Metal Tower On The Champ De Mars. (A 300-Metre Tower Was Then Considered A Herculean Engineering Effort.) On 12 May, A Commission Was Set Up To Examine Eiffel's Scheme And Its Rivals, Which, A Month Later, Decided That All The Proposals Except Eiffel's Were Either Impractical Or Lacking In Details."
