All moneys appropriated for the department of mental health and state hospitals may be expended on proper requisitions issued by the director of mental health or his duly authorized agent. Whenever the appropriations by the Legislature for the state hospitals are insufficient to pay the expenses of conducting such institutions, the director of mental health shall certify the deficiency to the Governor. The certificate shall state the name of the state hospital and the items and amount in detail needed, and the Governor may direct payment of the same or any part thereof out of any appropriation available for that purpose.
