Dillinger said he would await the outcome of the Gill suit hefore taking action to collect the unpaid trailer taxes. Dillinger has been restrained from dispersing any of the collected money until the court rules on the pending Gill suit. Brandon said the suit challenges the constitutionality of the tax because no provisions are made for age or condition of Ibe trailer when assessed. The trailer tax is a nat rate of 15 cents per square foot of floor space. The suit also challenges a provision in the tax law allowing an 80 per cent reduction for persons over 65 with less than a $4,000 per year income. Brandon said the suit contends there is no legal basis for the discount. The suit also objects to the tax being retroactive, in that it, covers 1973 even though the tax was not passed until August 1973, he said. Property taxes in Illinois were dropped by the 1970 Illinois constitution in favor of state income taxes. Many trailer owners have objected to the mobile homes privilege tax claiming they are "being taxed twice." Dillinger p'rojected in January 1974 that the tra.ler tax in Jackson county would raise about $200,000.
