Sec. 76. Auditor—examination of claims, drawing of
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. All accounts so audited
and approved by the auditor shall be paid by drawing his warrant
on the Treasurer, countersigned by the Mayor, stating to

whom payable, on what account, and the particular 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.
