Dove, J. Claimant, Davidson Division, Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, filed its complaint in the Court of Claims on January 26, 1967 in which it seeks the sum of $200.00 for services and parts furnished to the Office of the Secretary of State. A Departmental Report was filed, which stated in part “The amount of $200.00 is correct, and a debt due and owing to claimant for services, and should be paid.” Subsequently a written stipulation was entered into by claimant and respondent, as follows: “The report of the Secretary of State to the Attorney General of the State of Illinois, dated April 11, 1967, (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. “No other or written evidence will be introduced by either party. “The 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. “Neither party objects to the entry of an order in favor of claimant and against respondent in the sum of $200.00. “Neither party desires to file briefs in this proceeding. “Both parties waive notice of any hearing, and agree that the aforesaid order may be entered without either party being present.” This 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’s 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. Claimant, Davidson Division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, is, therefore, hereby awarded the sum of $200.00.
