Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia :

1. That section eight, as amended, of chapter three hundred sixty-
four of the Acts of Assembly of nineteen hundred thirty-four, approved
March twenty-nine, nineteen hundred thirty-four, be amended and re-
enacted, as follows:

Section 8. For the purpose of this act, the population of each
county and city shall be according to the last preceding United States
census; provided, if the area of any city has, since the last preceding
United States census, been increased by annexation, the population of
such city, for the purpose of this act, shall be the population thereof as
shown by the last preceding United States census, plus the increase re-
sulting from such annexation. The maximum limits of the salaries pro-
vided by this act are hereby increased to the extent of fifteen hundred
dollars in the case of officers in counties adjoining one or more cities of
more than twenty-five thousand inhabitants, whether such cities be with-
in or without this State, and in case of cities adjoining or within one mile
of another city of more than one hundred thousand inhabitants. Provided
that whenever it is made to appear to the satisfaction of the Compensation
Board that the population of any county or city has, since the.last pre-
ceding United States census, increased so as to entitle such county or
city to be placed in a higher bracket prescribing the minimum and maxi-
mum salaries, then such county or city shall be considered as being with-
in such higher brackets in fixing the salaries provided by this act.
