Sec. 84. - [Payment of claims.]

The auditor shall draw the warrant on the treasury to the order of the person or persons to whom payment is lawfully due. No payment, however, of any claim shall be deemed as lawful and subject to payment by the auditor unless it be pursuant to and in strict compliance with an appropriation by council and written approval by the head of the department in which the obligation was incurred.
