clerk to enter and record in a book or books to be provided for the purpose
an accurate and fair account of all property of every sort assessed within
their county or city and the valuation thereof and an alphabetical list of

spect without fee or reward. , In the record of the assessments of stocks,
bonds or other investments, the nature thereof shall be briefly stated and
the taxable value of each; but the details thereof, or of the assessment of
tangible personal property shall not be open to inspection except by the
