AVERAGE COST OF DIVORCE AT RENO IS $350 — Shaq) Bargaining May Obtain Decree For „ Trifle Less — . By Earl 11. Leif. Up Staff Correspondent Rene, Nev., Dec. 24 -(U.R> The average cost of a Reno divorce is about $350 although it is possible, with some sharp bargaining, to ob-i tain a decree for less. 1 The tninmum fee for an attorney i lln an uncontested action is fixed by the Nevada Bar Association nt $250. but the actual fee ranges | t'rem SSO up. The fees probably ■average $250 for the plaintiff, to which is added about $25 for court costs and filing fees, and $25 for an attorney for the defendant. If there is trouble with the defendant and he refuses to sign a power of attorney or decides to contest the suit, the cosUi mount. New Yorkers Spend SI,OOO Probably the average New Yorker »f moderate means spends about $j,O()0 for a Reno divorce, including railroad fare, living expenses for three months and attorney's! fees. However, it is possible for .a person to travel from New York ’ to Reno and return with a decree in hand at a cost of as low as S6OO. (No attorney will advise aperson from New York to come to Reno without a "power of attorney" from the prospective defendant in the case if it is at all possible to procure one as such divorces, granted by default when the defendant is not represented in court here, are unrecognized in New York state. Attorney Fees Vary The cost of having an attorney in court to represent the defendant. making the divorce decree ' legal anywhere? ranges from slOl I to S2OO. I It is necessary to remain in I Reno for three months before the , divorce action can be filed, but the divorce will be granted immedii ately if the applicant has that most 'valuable power of attorney. Otherwise the defendant must be 'served personally with a copy of the complaint, or by publication, and then 40 days must elapse before the divorce is granted. One does not, however, have to remain in Reno or Nevada during that 40 day wait, but must be here for the hearing. ASPHALT MEN I START MOVE TO FIGHT GRAFT Favor Law Allowing Legal Inspection of Company Books Memphis, Dec. . I — (UP) — A movement to control graft in public construction work gained ground at the ninth annual mee'ing of the Asphalt Paving conference here recently. It's author, Arthur H. Blanchard, nationally prominent consulting engineer of Toledo, said the program would follow that practiced by insurance firms when they outlawed rebates of premiums. Namely, a law demanding that books of construction companies, machinery and equipment builders be opened tor public inspection, will be avoided. The companies, he said favor the passing of the statute. Where payment has led to awarding on contracts is shown, he said prosecution will be demanded. Blanchard estimated roughly that this form of "legal graft” amounts to $160,000,000 yearly which is one tenth of the annual construction bill of the United States. This amount, he explained, is added to construction cos's now by concerns bidding for the work. Blanchard maintained that a majority of this money was ’ eing paid to commissioners, county and city board and state authorities who are in charge of awarding contracts. He told of a situation in a Rocky Mountain town where a city engineer was dismissed by the council when he favored a firm contrary ! to the council's wishes. The engin i eer favored the firm which could 'do the best work, Blanchard explained, the council the firm where ■ favors had been presented council men. — o Against Daylight Saving San Francisco, — (UP) — That California is not interested in dayj light savings is indicated in the I report now on file that $89,754 was spent in a. futile effort to induce (voters to approve the law at the ■ last election. Despite the fight and expenditure, the measure was overwhelmingly defeated. o Horse Society Celebrates Dedham, Mass.. — (UP) - Although “horse days" have appar ently passed into oblivion the So-
