Six important recommendations gov
erning the making of appraisals and
the conduct of appraisers were unani-
nlously adopted by the new appraisal
division. The recommendations are
designed to eliminate misleading ap-
praiSal practice. especially in connec-
ton with real estate bond issues. They
are as follows:
/. No appraiser should accept an
order for a valuation for which his
employment is contingent upon his
appraisal.
>. The practice of having one ap-
praiser make the valuation of land and
another of the building and using the
total Of the two as the true value is
unsound and is condemned. as is also
the practice of basing the appraisal en-
tirely on the capitalized value Of the
net income. In appraisals for bond
issues where more than one appraiser
participates all of the appraisers esti-
mating the separate units OF value. in
cluding income, should reconcile their
respective appraiSals and sign a joint
report.
3. An appraisal report should state
the conditions under which the valu-
alton obtains. and when feasible should
be In detail upon a standard form fur
nished by the national association.
4. An appraiser should have no in
terest IN the property which is being
appraised unless his interest is spe-
cifically disclosed in the appraisal
report.
S. An appraisal for a bond issue
should, in addition 10 showing the fair
cash market value of the property, also
show the appraisers estimate Of gross
earnings. operating expenses and re-
sulting net income In case the cap
italiZation Of the net income and the
valuation are not reconciled. the rea-
sons for the difference should be ex-
planned
6. All advertisements OF bond issues
should give the name or names and
addresses of the appraisers. and should
quote sufficiently from the appraisal
report both at 10 physical value and
income as TO reject correctly the
opinion and judgment Of the appraiser,
and certified copies of the full ap-
praisai report should be available TO

But Crystal was not listening to
Miss Morse's sweetly hyocritical
comments. Her fearful eyes were
devouring the marked item of the
column by 1.-THE Society Butterfly
The first mentioned no names, but
was painfully clear to anyone III
the know:
"a certain rich young man, who
swaggers under the label of Stan
tons most eligible bachelor and
who has just become dramatically
unengaged to a lovely but capriciouS
newcomer to society, had a rather
amazing experience at the Marlboro
Country Club Saturday evening.
I'm fact, his friends are now

young man as he who gets slapped.
For the slapping, at the pretty hand
of a hitherto inconspicuouS maiden,
was done quite publicly and thor

"Oh!" Crystal moaned, pressing
a cold fist into suddenly very hot
cheek.
your name appears in another
item," Miss Morse offered acidly,
as Crystal seemed about to drop
the clipping.
The scarlet-faced girl obedient-
ly forced her eyes to see the fur
ther extent of her shame, but the
second item, if it had stood alone,
would have been extremely innoc-
uous.
AS it was, it was separated from
the thinly yelled hint above only
by star dashes, SO that no reader
could possibly fail to see the con-
nection:
