No demand against the city shall be allowed by the city council nor an order or warrant ordered drawn paying the demand at any time other than a meeting of the council and unless the claimant shall have filed with the city administrator his itemized demand in writing, giving date of services rendered, the character of work done, the number of days engaged therein, the supplies and material furnished, and to whom furnished, the quantity and price paid therefor, which claim must be verified by affidavit of claimant or some competent person for him, stating that the items therein are true and correct and that no portion thereof has been paid. If the work was done for, or the supplies furnished to, any official of the city or committee of the council in its official capacity, such demand must also bear the written approval of such officer or chairman of such committee; provided, however, that an order or warrant for the regular monthly salary of an official of the city may be drawn by the mayor and countersigned by the city treasurer on the first regular meeting in the month following the one for which such services for which payment is made were performed, without the demand of the official being so made or filed with the city administrator.
