to the Court the issue on the travel
trailer tax exemption. These travel
trailers were not suppose to be
taxed. Letters have been received
from the Attorney General’s Office
stating to forego this tax. The Court

ing. Commissioner Lollar stated
that the building looked like a “junk
room”. Mrs. Hudson stated that if
the storage facility could be cleaned
up and reorganized that perhaps
some of the “excess” items that are
currently in the basement of the
Courthouse could be taken there
for storage. She expressed concern
that the basement should be ready
should it be needed during the
storming season. The court dis-
cussed the need also for the off site
storage building be checked for ter-
mites. Margaret Jones-Petross
made mention that her records that
are ruined and stored in this build-
ing, have already been reproduced.
The Court discussed setting aside
one day that all officials meet at the

should be.

After much discussion pertain-
ing to an interlocal agreement be-
tween Jones County and the City
of Lueders, the Court voted not to
approve this agreement at least un-
til the Jones County Attorney and
the City of Lueders’ Attorney
agreed upon the matter.
