land and buildings used for auch business instead of such hypothetical and hard to ascertain methods as amount of trnde and stock on hand at the time of the assessors call taxed on real value in that value they placed more rcllaicc on the selling value of property than we wisely do today in view of the demand for housing accommodation which governs the selling price but not the real or actual
