In all cases where warrants in anticipation of taxes have been duly authorized and the comptroller shall find it necessary or expedient to sell them, or any portion thereof, the comptroller may turn such tax warrants over to the treasurer. Thereupon the treasurer shall purchase the same out of the aggregate of funds held in the city treasury to the extent that such may be invested without reducing the balance on hand below the amount immediately necessary to meet warrants drawn on the city treasury in the regular course of business.
(Prior code § 7-44)
