““This court has held that where funds are only available for highway construction and maintenance an action cannot be maintained by a contractor for damages for breach of contract, (citations omitted) "Plaintiffs contend that the purpose of this action is to secure compensation for extra work and not for damages for breach of contract, and that their claim may be paid from funds appropriated for the construction and maintenance of highways under the supervision of the State Highway Commission. It is conceded that funds have not been specifically appropriated for payment of damages for breach of contract.””
