installments. The expenses of office of each such officer, including the
compensation of deputies and employees, shall be likewise paid out of the

penses are incurred, or may become due and payable, or at least twice
monthly. The maximum amount of such expenses in the case of each such
officer shall be fixed by the State Compensation Board, and the State
Compensation Board shall fix the number and compensation of the dev-
uties and employees of each such officer.
