AN ACT TO REIMBURSE HENRY D. WOOLFE IN THE SUM OF THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS, LOCAL CURRENCY, FOR LOSS INCURRED BY HIM IN FURNISHING THE INSULAR GOVERNMENT WITH CERTAIN GOODS SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO THOSE CONTRACTED FOR.
By authority of the United States, be it enacted by the Philippine Commission, that:
SECTION 1. Whereas in the month of June, nineteen hundred and two, Henry D. Woolfe offered by bid to furnish the Government of the Philippine Islands with thirty balance balls with wrought-iron pins at a price about five hundred dollars less than that at which he would have offered them had he not been mislead by a mistake in a telegram received by him from dealers in such balls in Hongkong, and whereas such balls were furnished to the Government by Henry D. Woolfe in accordance with his bid, and whereas his bid as accepted and filed was three hundred and forty-six dollars and seventy-five cents less than the next lowest bid, and whereas the balls as furnished were in fact, by reason of the mistake aforesaid, worth at least three hundred dollars more than the amount for which Henry D. Woolfe agreed to furnish them:
The sum of three hundred dollars, local currency, is hereby appropriated out of any funds in the Insular Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of reimbursing Henry D. Woolfe in part for the loss incurred by the mistake above described.
SEC. 2. The public good requiring the speedy enactment of this bill, the passage of the same is hereby expedited in accordance with section two of "An Act prescribing the order of procedure by the Commission in the enactment of laws," passed September twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred.
SEC. 3. This act shall take effect on its passage.
