Zenoff, J.,
concurring:
I concur with the result enunciated by Justice Collins but I readily concede the merit of the dissenting opinion. We are bound, however, to uphold the application of a valid statuté wherever it is reasonable to do so. In this case the legislative intent is apparent, but the statutory standard compels a strained interpretation. Yet since Las Vegas Township did exist in 1960, as Justice Collins recites, and the population of that township was over 100,000, the yardstick of NRS 4.020, subsection 3, can be made to apply.
