Inquiries had been received from people living near and far away from Queenstown regarding particulars of the house, and when’the limit price of £BSO was reached 10 parties handed in their names for ballot. Mr E. A. Scheib, of Queenstown, was the successful purchaser, and Mr J. Keen was the second name to be drawn out of the ballot. Although £BSO was considered by many a very fair price, competition was so keen that the price limit was reached and the ballot taken in the short space of three minutes.
