Headnotes

SUPPLIES-when award made. Where it clearly appears that supplies as ordered by State were delivered to and received by it in good order and no question is made as to charge therefor, an award will be made for price thereof.

CYRUS S. GENTRY AND WILLIAM W. YEAGER, for claimant. OTTO KERNER, Attorney General; JOHN KASSERMAN, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE HOLLERICH delivered the opinion of the court:

Claimant seeks to recover the sum of Fifty-eight Dollars and Thirty Cents ($58.30) for oil sold to the respondent and delivered at the Vandalia State Farm on January 14, 1933. [*211]

The superintendent of the institution admits that the oil was received in good condition, and states that the invoices were never vouchered. It is stipulated that the amount due is Fifty-eight Dollars and Thirty Cents ($58.30), and an award is therefore entered in favor of the claimant for that amount.
