        "text": "Dove, J.\nClaimant, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, a Corporation, filed its complaint in the Court of Claims in which it seeks judgment of $35,428.72, representing charges for telephone services rendered up to June 30, 1965 to various departments of the State of Illinois pursuant to tariff rules and regulations of the Illinois Commerce Commission, which form a contract between the Telephone Company and the State of Illinois.\nA Departmental Report was filed, which stated: \u201cThe debt is fair and just, is due and owing, and should be paid to the Company for the services rendered.\u201d\nSubsequently a written stipulation was entered into by claimant and respondent, which states as follows:\n\u201cThe report of the Office of the Secretary of State to the Illinois Attorney General, dated April 7, 1967, (a copy of which is attached hereto, marked exhibit A, and by this reference incorporated herein, and made a part hereof) shall be admitted into evidence in this proceeding without objection by either party.\n\u201cNo other oral or written evidence will be introduced by either party.\n\u201cThe Comissioner to whom this case has been assigned and the Court may make and file their reports, recommendations, orders and decisions based upon the pleadings heretofore filed, and the evidence herein stipulated.\n\u201cNeither party objects to the entry of an order in favor of claimant and against respondent in the sum of $35,428.72.\n\u201cNeither party desires to file briefs in this proceeding.\n\u201cBoth parties waive notice of any hearing, and agree that the aforesaid order may be entered without either party being present.\u201d\nThis Court has repeatedly held that, where a contract has been (1) properly entered into; (2) services satisfactorily performed, and materials furnished in accordance with such contract; (3) proper charges made therefor; (4) adequate funds were available at the time the contracts were entered into; and, (5) the appropriation for the biennium from which such claim could have been paid had lapsed, it would enter an award for the amount due. St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, Decatur, of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, an Illinois Corporation vs. State of Illinois, case No. 5261, opinion filed February 24, 1966. It appears that all qualifications for an award have been met in the instant case.\nClaimant, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, a Corporation, is, therefore, hereby awarded the sum of $35,428.72.",
