 13-c. Power  of  cities  to  provide moneys to replace revenues from
  excise taxes. The common council or other governing body of any city, in
  which the trafficking in liquor  is  prohibited  wholly  or  partly  may
  raise, as long as the trafficking in liquor is prohibited, an amount not
  exceeding  the  revenue derived from excise taxes on alcoholic beverages
  in the last year in which the excise taxes were received.   Such  amount
  to  be raised shall be included in the tax levy in addition to all other
  sums which the common council or other governing body is  authorized  to
  raise,   any   provision   of   the   city   charter   to  the  contrary
  notwithstanding.
In a city having a board of estimate and apportionment, action by  the
  common  council  or other governing body under this section shall not be
  taken except with the consent of such board.
