Sec. 74. - [Taxpayer's suit.]

In case the city attorney, upon written request of any taxpayer of the city, fails to make any application provided for in the preceding three sections, such taxpayer may institute suit or proceedings for such purpose in the taxpayer's own name on behalf of the city. No such suit or proceeding shall be entertained by any court until such request to the city attorney shall first have been made, nor until the taxpayer shall have given security for the costs of the proceeding.
