OPINION CONCURRING IN RESULT
DONNELLY, Judge.
In School District of Clayton v. Kelsey, 355 Mo. 478, 484, 196 S.W.2d 860, 863, it was held that an unconsummated contract for the sale of neighboring property was not competent on market value because “to permit such contracts to be offered * * * would open the door to contracts made in bad faith and with no intention of completion and consummation.”
I believe this general rule of exclusion is sound and I would follow it in this case.
I concur in result.
