““No contract shall be entered into until an appropriation has been made therefor, not in excess of the amount appropriated and all contracts, whenever practicable, shall be made upon specifications, and no contract shall be binding upon the city unless it has been signed by the mayor and the expense thereof charged to the proper appropriation, and whenever the contract charged to any appropriation equals the amount of «said appropriation, no further contracts shall be signed by the mayor,””
