RUSH TO BUY HOUSE
AUCTION ENDS IN BALLOT Brisbane, April 7. Sixty persons brought £120.000 with them to bid for a modern brick home at an auction in Brisbane. The ceiling price for the house was £IBSO, and after two attempts at auction, the auctioneer held a ballot. The names of prospective buyers were placed in a box, and a small boy drew the name of the winner, who was Mr F. H. Kellie, a city accountant. Mr Kellie has been searching for a suitable home for four years. He recently won a lottery. The house has three bedrooms and all modern conveniences.
