Abstract
THE recent decision of the Commissioners of Customs to enforce payment of the entertainment tax by the Committee of the West Highland Museum at Fort William in respect of an exhibition of local objects meets with some caustic comment in the February number of the Museums Journal. It is pointed out that the official regulations contemplate the issue of certificates of exemption, for.โ entertainments โof this nature, and that the Board of Education encourages such temporary local exhibitions as the best means of securing the establishment of permanent provincial museums. Thus does one Government Department hinder the efforts of the other; and thus is constructed another argument for a properly thought-out State policy towards museums.
