Upon receipt by the comptroller and the commissioner of taxation and finance of a certificate from the chairman of the New York state emergency financial control board for the city of Yonkers, that moneys in such fund are required to pay debt service on such bonds of the city of Yonkers, each of which certificates shall specify the required payment and the date when the payment is required, the comptroller and the commissioner of taxation and finance, shall pay from such fund on or before the specified date or within thirty days after such receipt, whichever is later, to the comptroller of the city of Yonkers, as the chairman of such financial control board may direct in any such certificate, the amount so certified.
