- MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES-when claim will be allowed for payment after appropriation has lapsed. Where claimant, manufacturer of oil products, produced sales tickets for products which it had furnished the Division of Highways, but presented them for payment after the appropriation from which these invoices were payable had lapsed, although a sufficient balance remained in the appropriation at the time it lapsed, the claim will be allowed where it was made within a reasonable time.
The claimant, Phillips Petroleum Company, a corporation, furnished the Division of Highways, Bureau. of Construction of the State of Illinois, certain products on June 22, 1949, amounting to the sum of $27.63; and, the Department of Maintenance of the State of Illinois certain products from March 21 through August 31, 1949, all as listed per exhibits attached to their claim, totalling $75.50.
The Departmental Report indicates that of this total $3.50 was paid direct to the individual service station, leaving the amount of $72.00, which is due.
It was stipulated between the parties that the materials in the amount of $72.00 were furnished to the State, but were not paid because of the automatic date of lapse of appropriation.
For the reasons stated in Case No. 4299, The Haloid Co., a Corp., an award is entered in favor of the claimant in the sum of $72.00.
