Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 14-155.1, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 14-155.1. In each city of this Commonwealth having a population
of over *eighty-five thousand and not exceeding one hundred thousand in-
habitants, the clerks of courts shall each be paid a salary, not less than
eight thousand dollars per annum but not to exceed ten thousand dollars
per annum, and in each city of this Commonwealth having a population
of over sixty-five thousand and not exceeding eighty-five thousand inhabi-
tants, the clerks of courts shall each be paid a salary not less than ninety-
five hundred dollars per annum but not to exceed twelve thousand five hun-
dred dollars per annum.

Such salary shall be in full compensation for services and shall be in
lieu of the retention by such clerk of any and all official fees and commis-
sions of whatever kind or character, and from whatever source derived;
and the city council of each such city shall provide for the payment of
such salary out of the city treasury in equal monthly instalments. The
expenses of office of such clerk, including the compensation of deputies
and employees, shall be likewise paid to each such clerk out of the city
treasury on duly authenticated vouchers, when and as such expenses are
incurred, or may become due and payable, or at least monthly. The maxi-
mum amount of such expenses shall be fixed by the State Compensation
Board, and the Board shall fix the number and compensation of the deputies
and employees of each such officer.

All fees and commissions of every kind or character received or col-
lected by such clerk, and from whatever source derived, shall be paid into
the city treasury by him monthly. All fees and commissions of every
kind and character, whether payable by the State, the United States, or
by private persons, firms or corporations, now or hereafter made receiv-
able by laws or ordinance by such clerk, shall continue to be paid to and
collected by him, and shall be paid into the city treasury monthly, except
that the city aforesaid shall not be required to pay any such clerk any fees
or commissions for services performed for such city.
