        "text": "Dove, J.\nClaimant, Merchant Service Co-Op, filed its complaint in the Court of Claims on November 30, 1967 in which it seeks the sum of $60.94 for materials furnished the Secretary of State, Drivers License Division.\nA Departmental Report was filed, which stated in part: \u201cOur records indicate that parts were received and installed. The invoice was not submitted until after the appropriation for the 74th biennium had lapsed. \u2019y\nSubsequently a written stipulation was entered into by claimant and respondent, which reads as follows:\n\u201cThe report of the Secretary of State (Drivers License Division) dated January 3, 1968, (a copy of which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit \u201cA\u201d, 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 Commissioner to which 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 $60.94.\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, Merchant Service Co-Op, is, therefore, hereby awarded the sum of $60.94.",
