ART COLLECTION
INCOMEM HEAVY
NEW YORK, April 1.—The two
year limit during which time the es
tate of the late J. Pierpont Morgan
could avoid payment of the inheri
tance tax on his art collection by do
nating it to the public institutions of
the coun'ry expires today. It is be
lieved that the time will be extended
as the collection, which is valued at
$60,000,<'00, has many museums :o
which pictures were offered have not
as yet indicated their wishes in the
matter.
The income lax on the collection if
it had remained intact would have
amounted to $2,500,000, but many of
the most valuable paintings and oth
er works of art have been donated
to museums.
