Our total book valuations, which are high, covering the Las Vegas land & Water Co.*a holdings in this county, amount to #201,167,67 and were we assessed at two-thirds our book value it would only be $134,111.78, and we are unjustly assessed in comparison with hotels and other properties here within the City limits.
