The Council shall pass upon all accounts and claims against the City. Every claim for tort shall, so far as possible, state, in detail, the time, place and cause of alleged injury. All claims, whether arising out of contract or tort, shall be made under oath and shall be filed with the Clerk for consideration by the Council within sixty days after the cause of action in every case has arisen. It shall be a sufficient defense to any action for the collection of any demand or claim against the City that such claim has not been filed with the Clerk as hereinbefore provided.
