Delay Bond
Hearing
On Utilities

A validation nearing for S. mil
lion in revenue bonds to finance
water and sewer systems in
Bayou Casotte and Escatawpa
was postponed until Oct. "a at
10 am. in Chancery Court today
after two protests were filed con-
corning the issue.
Filing protests were attorneys
Merle Palmer on behalf of Pas
cagoula and Robert Oswald ON be-
half of H. B. Wallace of Pasca-
goula and j. T. Gatlin of East
side.
Pascagoula's protest requested
the court to order jackson Coun-
ty to live up to the terms of a
contract signed by the county and
city concerning the system for
Bayou Casotte and to stay the
proceedings until bonds for the
two projects are issued separate
ly.
AS an alternative, Pascagoula
requested that an injunction be
issued against the county to pre-
vent the sale of the bonds until
the county complies with the con-
tract.
Mayor Ben Briggs told The
Chronicle that PaScagoula is will
ing to make concessions in the
contract but not in the city's stand
against linking Bayou CaSotte and
Escatawpa in the same bond is
sue.
Briggs said he thinks the city
will go along with the 10year
eallable clause in the bond con-
tract if necessary but I'VE don't
intend to be Saddled with ES-
cabawpa.
Wallace filed a protest with
the Board of Supervisors last
month. The protest was dismiss
ed.
This protest was included in the
protest filed today and the court
was asked to refuse to validate the
bonds and dismiss the proceed
ingS.
Wallace and Gatin also asked
that the county be made to COM
ply with the contract signed with
Pascagoula and challenged the
authority of the county to build
such systems.
They contend that the Jackson
County Port Authority is the legal
body for building utilities under a
special act of the Legislature pro-
viding for water and sewer sys-
TENS in unincorp0rated areas.

One of the escapes, James w.
Myers, q, was a trustee. The
other was Gordon Ross, 20.
The pair escaped between 8
pm. and 2 am, deputies said,
after constructing an elaborate
jack out of coat hangers and a
paint scraper and using it to pry
the bars of window apart.
They then lowered themselves
to the kitchen roof with an ex-
tension cord, and re-entered the
building through another window.
Afterwards they apparently walk
ed from the building through one
of the regular exits and took the
ambulance, which belonged to
Fails Funeral Home.
The pair obviously had worked
for several hours to pry the bars,
apart. An empty coffee pot and
two cups were found at the win

New TaxForm
Is Said Easier
For Filling Out

WASHINGTON CUPID The
Internal Revenue Service is try
ing a new system to make it cas-
ier for taxpayers to fill out their
income tax returns.
Some taxpayers won't have to
bother about putting their names,
addresses or social security num-
bers on the tax forms this year.
IRIS Commissioner Mortimer M.
Capdin made public Thursday the
new form 1040 that will be sent
to the taxpayer with his name,
address and Social Security num-
Der already filled i'm.
The idea is to cut down on mis-
takes through the aid of aut0mat-
ed equipment. Optical Scanners,
scientifically attuned to the spe-
cial ink, viii be able to e a d
each name electronically and re-
cord receipt Of the form.
Caplin said tn e new pre-ad-
dressed forums, to be mailed later
this year, will he used only in the
seven-state Atlanta IRS district.
Eventually. they will be extend
ed to the other states.
Test states for the new system
will be Georgia. Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Florida, and Tennessee.
The commissioner said the 1854
tax form has a few other changes
but most of them are minor. One
revision involves the switching OF
columns for reporting wages and
tax withheld.
Caplin said it took two years
for this change to evolve. He in
dicated it would make it a little
easier for the taxpayer to add UP
the columns.
