COUNTY TO SELL
 OLD COURTHOUSE
 BEFORE BUILDING
Move Would Save C0nsid- erable Sum On
 Interests

The present Jefferson county court house is to be sold before construction starts on the new building, it was an- nounced Monday by Capt. Lacey Ed mundson, president of the board or revenue, who asserted that the entire board had agreed upon this plan.
 The reason back of this decision, it was said, was that this move would save the county a considerable hum of money on interest payments on the $2.5O0,OOO bond issue, voted last November. In- terest on county deposits in banks, goes to the board of education, and this fact also was considered in the county's de- cision.
 The new building is to be an eight story structure with the county jail on the top floor, it was stated Monoay' and will be one of the most convenient, imposing. and beautiful buildings of It's kind in the south.
 Captain Edmundson also said that the board of revenue was anxious to start construction of the building, and would be ready to receive offers and to com plete the sale of the present buildings any time after the first of the year.
 It is known that several tentative of- fers have been received for the pres- ent building, one of which is said to be in excess of $1, 100000. but all action has been deferred by the board until after January l, 1925. Any offer to be acceptable, will call for a large inn mediate cash payment, with possession to remain with the county until the new structure is completed.
