WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 87 which appears in Chapter 57, Volume 56, Laws of Delaware, approved by the Governor on July 5, 1967, provided an amount of $42,282 to the State Board of Education for certain improvements and repair to school buildings in the Middletown School District #60; and

WHEREAS, a May 6, 1968 directive from the Budget Director to financial officers did notify all State agencies that all purchase orders against fiscal 1968 General Fund appropriations shall be liquidated by September 30, 1968 unless specific approval to the contrary is secured from the Budget Director; and

WHEREAS, responsible agencies failed to secure specific approval from the Budget Director and therefore the encumbrances in the amount of $2,464.50 were therefore liquidated; and
