[ Act No. 3797, December 04, 1930 ]
AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE BUREAU OF SUPPLY TO PURCHASE TEXTBOOKS FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS, FOR SALE TO THE SAME AT THE SAME PRICE AT WHICH SAID BUREAU SELLS THEM TO THE BUREAU OF EDUCATION.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Legislature assembled and by the authority of the same:
SECTION 1. The Bureau of Supply is hereby authorized and directed, at the request of the directors of private schools recognized by the Government, to purchase textbooks for said schools, provided they are the same used in the public schools. The Bureau of Supply shall purchase said books and shall sell them to the private schools at the same price at which it sells them to the Bureau of Education, for use by the pupils of the public schools, with a reasonable additional sum, which shall be fixed by said Bureau, with the approval of the Department head concerned, to cover all necessary expenses incurred by said Bureau in connection with the purchase and sale of said books, so that the Government shall not lose any money.
SEC. 2. The directors of private schools recognized by the Government shall make their requisitions to the Bureau of Supply through the Commissioner of Private Schools, whose duty it shall be to see that the retail price at which the directors of private schools sell said books to their pupils is not greater than the price charged by the Bureau of Supply and a small additional sum to cover transportation expenses, fixed by said Commissioner.
SEC. 3. No director or administrative officer of any private school shall sell books so purchased from the Bureau of Supply at a price greater than that fixed in accordance with the preceding two sections, and the violation of the provisions of this section shall be sufficient cause to deprive the school guilty thereof of the privilege authorized by this Act.
SEC. 4. Before acting upon requisitions made in accordance with this Act, the Purchasing Agent shall require directors of private schools to deposit the price of their respective requisitions with the Bureau of Supply.
SEC. 5. This Act shall take effect on its approval.
