Black, J.
(concurring). The defendant city’s-charter validly (there is no challenge to its validity) provides that “any demand or claim against said city,”* not previously presented to the common council for allowance or rejection, shall not be actionable-against the city. It is agreed that the claim upon which plaintiff declares has never been presented according to requirement of such provision. Is the provision not applicable in bar of this suit?
I neither read nor hear any argument upon which, it might be said, plausibly or otherwise, that the provision does not so apply. Accordingly, and on sole-strength of the city’s right to insist that the mentioned provision of its charter be observed as a, condition of suit, I vote to affirm.
Kavanagh, J., concurred with Black, J.
.Edwards, J., did not sit.

 Nor quotation of such charter provision, see opinion of Mr. Justice-Kelly.
