warrants, etc.
He shall examine all claims and demands for or against the
city, and no money shall be drawn from the treasury or paid to
any person, unless the balance so due or payable be first audited,
adjusted or determined by the Auditor and approved by the
chairman of the department in which the expenditure was
made, and he shall hold said bills or accounts as his vouchers.
He shall submit all accounts so audited and approved, except
bills for freight or for provender for keep of horses in the
several departments, to the Council for its approval. All accounts
so approved by the Council shall be paid by the Auditor
by drawing his warrant on the Treasurer, countersigned by the
Mayor, stating to whom payable, on what account, and the
particular fund or appropriation from which the same is payable;
and no money shall be drawn from the treasury except
upon the warrant of the City Auditor as aforesaid. In no other
case shall any warrant be drawn by the Auditor for the payment
of money unless the same is authorized by some ordinance
or resolution of the Council, making a special appropriation to
the person or department in whose behalf the same is drawn.
