      article six of the constitution and article  seven-A  of  the  judiciary
      law,  the  appellate  divisions  of  the  supreme court in the first and
      second judicial  departments  shall  supervise  the  administration  and
      operation   of   the  court  in  their  respective  departments,  either

        (2) All salaries of the judicial and  non-judicial  personnel  of  the
      court  and  all  other  expenses of the court whatsoever shall be a city
      charge. The governing body of the city shall  annually  include  in  its
      final  estimate  such  sums as may be necessary to pay such salaries and
      expenses. All budgetary appropriations made by the city for the use  and
      requirements  of  the  court of special sessions of the city of New York
      and the city magistrates' courts of the city of New York for the  fiscal
      year  of  the  city  in which this act shall take effect, and unexpended
      balances thereof for prior years, shall be, so far as needed, vested  in
      and  transferred  to  the  use of the court. The court shall continue to
      occupy and use the  courtrooms  and  other  parts  of  court  and  other
      buildings  occupied by such other courts until such time as other proper
      and adequate  quarters  are  provided;  and  all  furniture,  equipment,
      supplies  and  other  property  and services in the custody or use of or
      allotted to such other courts on the effective date of  this  act  shall
      respectively be vested in and transferred to the use of the court.
