An Act Amending Act Numbered Seven Hundred and Eighty-Seven by Authorizing the Provincial Engineer of the Moro Province to Purchase Supplies in the Open Market under Certain Conditions
Act No. 1101, enacted on April 4, 1904, amends a previous law regarding the purchasing authority of the Provincial Engineer of the Moro Province. It allows the Provincial Engineer to buy supplies in the open market under specific conditions, rather than being required to purchase exclusively through the Insular Purchasing Agent. The governor of the province can grant written authorization for such purchases when it is deemed more economical. This amendment is retroactive and takes effect immediately upon passage, emphasizing the urgency for the public good.
