Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the  assessor of the city of Albany, is hereby authorized to accept from

 which  it  seeks  exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to such
 exemption if such county had filed an application for exemption  by  the

 all  taxation  beginning with the date of acquisition of the property by
 such county and make appropriate correction  to  the  subject  roll.  If
