§40-55  Warrants for certain mechanics and
laborers.  Warrants for payrolls of mechanics or laborers, or others
temporarily employed, may be drawn in advance and before the wages as shown by
the payrolls have been receipted for by the mechanics, laborers, and others,
but in every case the payrolls shall have indorsed thereon the approval of the
officer in whose department the liability, or expense, has been incurred, and
also the appropriation to which it is chargeable, and it shall also be
specially certified to by the officer directly incurring the expense, that the
services charged for have been faithfully performed; and further, the
comptroller shall take a receipt from the disbursing officer in whose favor the
warrant for the payrolls has been drawn, and shall retain the receipt until the
payrolls have been properly receipted and returned to the comptroller, and
under no circumstances shall the comptroller hold more than one receipt from
the same disbursing officer for payrolls under the same item of appropriation.
