        "text": "Dove, J.\nClaimant, Gulf Oil Corporation, filed its complaint in the Court of Claims on January 19, 1968, in which it seeks the sum of $63.30 for materials furnished to the Department of Public Works and Buildings, Division of Highways.\nA Departmental Report was filed, which stated in part:\n\u201cDuring the month of February, 1967, Gulf Oil Corporation supplied lubricating oils to the State of Illinois, Department of Public Works and Buildings, Division of Highways, at the Division\u2019s request. The material had been contracted for by persons properly authorized, and it was received in good condition.\n\u201cThe only reason that the bill of Gulf Oil Corporation in the amount of $63.30 cannot now be paid is that the appropriation therefor has lapsed.\u201d\nSubsequently a written stipulation was entered into by claimant and respondent as follows:\n\u201cThe report of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, dated February 9, 1968, (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 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 $63.30.\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, Gulf Oil Corporation, is, therefore, hereby awarded the sum of $63.30.",
