The several sums\nestimated for expenditures therein shall be and become appropriated in\nthe amounts and for the several departments, offices and purposes as\ntherein specified for the said fiscal year. The several sums therein\nenumerated as estimated revenues and the moneys necessary to be raised\nby tax in addition thereto to pay the expenses of conducting the\nbusiness of the city and for the purposes contemplated by this chapter\nand otherwise by law, shall be and become applicable in the amounts\ntherein named for the purposes of meeting said appropriations.

When any moneys or revenues are received by any\nofficer, board or department of the city, from any source other than by\nmunicipal tax, which are not otherwise appropriated, such moneys or\nrevenues may be used and applied toward and in addition to the funds\nappropriated, as aforesaid, in such manner as in the judgment of the\nboard of estimate and apportionment may be most beneficial to the city.\n
