L., 457), which provides that "It shall be unlawful for any officer, board or commission * to enter into any contract, agreement or obligation involving the expenditure of money ***. unless the auditor of state shall first certify that there is a balance in the appropriation pursuant to which such obligation is required to be paid, not otherwise obligated to pay precedent obligations." And this court
