the New York State Financial Emergency Act for The City of New York but

notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, to facilitate the funding

of capital expenditures duly appropriated in the capital budget for the

city of New York, the finance board of such city shall establish an

account or accounts to receive amounts duly appropriated for capital

purposes in the expense budget of such city. Any payment pursuant to

such an expense budget appropriation shall be made prior to completion

such fund in the manner provided in section eleven of the general

moneys so deposited or invested shall accrue to and become part of such

account. The separate identity of such account shall be maintained,

whether its assets consist of cash or investments or both.
