PER CURIAM:
This c laim w as s ubmitted f or de cisión b ased u pon t he a negations in t he Notice of Claim and respondent's Answer.
Claimant seeks payment in the amount of $6,205.04 for electrical services rendered at the scalehouse building of respondent’s weights and measures section in St. Albans, Kanawha County. Respondent, in its Answer, admits the validity of the claim, but states that there were insufficient funds in its appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which to pay the claim.
While the Court believes that this is a claim which in equity and good conscience should be paid, the Court further believes that an award cannot be recommended based upon the decision in Airkem Sales and Service, et al. vs. Dept. of Mental Health, 8 Ct. Cl. 180 (1971).
Claim disallowed.
