Rock Island Sand and Gravel Co. vs. State, 8 C. C. R. 165; Indian Motorcycle Co. vs. State, 9 C. C. R. 526; Wabash Telephone Co. vs. State, No. 3105, decided at the January Term, 1938.\nClaimant presented its claim within a reasonable time, and under the facts and the law as above set forth, is entitled to an award.\nAward therefore is entered in favor of the claimant for the sum of Nine Dollars and Fourteen Cents ($9.14).",
