Aged Fricks Face Loss of Clark County Homestead Land
Mr and Mrs George Frick residents of Paradise Valley 6500 South Valley View filed for two and a half acres west of McCarran Field in 1954. They paid 2690 in 1959 and 750 more in 1961 after being told land would be honored but were later told the land was re evaluated and their claim denied. They suffer health problems and fear loss of security as a result. They sought help from Sen Alan Bible and Rep Walter Baring with no relief.
