They say it is nearly impossible to verify exact creation dates, with many works 150 to 300 years old, and predict a future Treasury ruling may restore free admission while currently payments are made under protest.

The Boston Post reports France will tax foreigners' autos by horsepower starting January 1 with graded francs per horsepower.
