to enter oontraotsfor the rental of space. The contractwhich the State HighwayDsplr-hnentcontemplatesOOBS~~iag is a lease of land as distin- guishedfrom a contra&?for rental space in a building or 1 ike quarters. Applyingthe ocmmonand usual meaningto the anrdsaa used in the statute, it is reasonable, ws tNnk, to conoludethe Legislaturedid not oontanplate We executionof land leases or rentalsby the State Board of Control notingfor and throughthe other State deporlxaontsand lgenoies.
It is thereforethe opinionof this departmentthat SenateBill 266 does not apply to the rentingor leasing-of land iawhioh no building is involved.
