Section 73
SEC. 73. Purchase and Supply Division.—The Purchasing Agent shall purchase and supply in accordance with law all supplies, equipment, material, and property of every kind, except real estate, for the use of the city and its departments and offices. In case of emergency, the city treasurer may, with the approval of the Mayor, make in the place purchases of supplies, equipment, material and property or other articles necessary for the use of the government of the city, except those requiring scientific or technical test to determine their quality, if the Municipal Board deems their price reasonable. But contracts for complete work of any kind for the use of the city, or any of its departments or offices, involving both labor and materials, where the materials are furnished by the contractor, not by the city, shall not be deemed to be within the provisions of this section.
