Southern Comfort Builders because the city would no longer have to pay the tax
on Services, thus saving $7,300. The contractor agreed with the $7,300 savings,
but his sub-contractors are estimating a 4% increase in their costs, plus there
is a 1% increase in the state sales tax on Feb. 1, 1988. Mr. Nicholas told
