BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[ J u r i e 2f>,

chase of stationery and printing paper, which are provided in the act of June 2.2, 1915, revising the law in relation to State contracts. Section 60 of the act provides: "All appropriations made by the General Assembly for printing, binding, printing paper, cover paper, and other paper and stationery, respective!}'-, shall be made to the Superintendent of Printing * * * * *. Such appropriations shall specify, separately for each office, board, commission, institution, or department, the maximum amount such office, board, commission, institution, or department shall be entitled to for printing, binding, printing paper, cover paper, and other paper and stationery, respectively. No officer, board, commission, institution or department shall be entitled to any printing, binding, printing paper, cover paper, or other paper, or stationery, respectively, in excess of the amount appropriated for such respective purposes for each respective public authority." No appropriation was made to the Superintendent of Printing for the use of the University of Illinois. Section 1 of the act brings within the scope of the provisions of the act: "* * * * * The stationery and printing paper furnished for the use of the State, the copying, printing, binding, and distributing the laws and journals, and all other printing ordered by the General Assembly." The legislature in the appropriation to the Superintendent of Printing for the purchase of printing paper and stationery limited the appropriation to "printing paper and stationery for the use of the General Assembly and the executive departments." These and other considerations lead me to the conclusion that in procuring printing and printing supplies, the University of Illinois is not subject to the requirements of the act to revise the law in relation to State contracts, approved June 22, 1915. I am returning, herewith, the voucher enclosed by you, executed by the University of Illinois in favor of the Graham Paper Company for said sum of $2761.23. Very respectfully,
