Federal Disbursino
Officers Queried
By AlimOny Seekers

When Government employees
start receiving extra compensation
under the Welch bill tomorrow,
quite few are going to have their
pleasure somewhat soured
This is indicated by the fact that
Government diSbursing officers are
being beseiged for information by
Divorces or wives who are simply
separated as TO how much their
husbands and former husbands will
receive under the law, while the
husbands themselves are asking the
disbursing officers not to divulge the
information
But the males lose in this case. as
all inquiries are being answered,
first, on the ground that the people
are entitled to the information I'M
der the law. and. secondly. to save
the time of appearing in court, for
all the women have to do is TO have
a petition filed and the disbursing
officer would have to appear and tes-
tify as TO the salary the man Is
receiving.
All Of this, according To one dis
bursting officer. is preparatory to the
filing of petitions by the wives and
former wives for an increase in their
alimony allowance. which. of course.
when originally allowed by the court,
was based on the mans earnings.
1t is pointed out that following
the increase of the Government
bonus from Sl20 to $240 a year
there followed a series of court ac-
tons for increases III alimonY. and
MANY of them were successful

LOUISVILLE. KY. June 23.-The

definite improvements in real estate

Baltimore, who addressed conference
of appraisal experts held here In con-
nection with the annual convention OF
the National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Zoning and city planning in its ef-
feet on real estate values Is another
factor that must be given serious con-
sideration by assessors and tax boards.
Judge Hecht said With the many
rapid changes which are taking place
in business use of property. the as

consider whether the utility of that
particular building may be changed or
utilized for any other purposes than
