Mr. R. B. Martin, Government auctioneer, had a busy hour or two yesterday at the Crown Lands Office, where a land sale which attracted considerable attention was held. page 36 Between 150 and 200 people were present, and the proceedings were very brisk. Competition in many cases was very keen, and the bidding was lively. For a piece of land near Outram, eight acres in extent, sold by the Education Board, no less than £60 an acre was obtained. The total proceeds of the Crown Lands Sale were about £2600. The particulars appear elsewhere.
