No money shall be paid out of the City Treasury until the Mayor and Aldermen have taken the necessary action to authorize the payment, either by voting an appropriation covering general expenditures to which the payment may be legally charged or by special order directing the Finance Officer to draw a treasury warrant for such payment and specifying to which appropriation the payment shall be charged; except, that any final judgment of court, city note, bond or interest coupon shall be paid out of any money in the City Treasury warrant signed by the Finance Officer.
