On and after July one, nineteen hundred forty-eight the maximum
salary applicable to each officer whose salary is prescribed by this section
shall be raised by twenty per centum for those officers authorized to
receive a maximum salary of five thousand dollars; and by ten per centum
and not to exceed five hundred dollars for those officers authorized by
law to receive a maximum salary in excess of five thousand dollars

sioners of the revenue under this act shall be within the limits herein-

by ten per centum and not to exceed five hundred dollars for those
officers authorized to receive a maximum salary in excess of forty-
eight hundred dollars but such increase shall not operate to raise any

construed to include all local and State levies and local and State licenses
extended or assessed by the several commissioners of the revenue in
their respective cities for the year nineteen hundred and thirty-two.

But nothing herein contained shall prevent the council of any city
having a population of more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand
people according to nineteen hundred and thirty United States census,
from supplementing the salary of the commissioner of the revenue in
said city for additional services not required by general law, provided,
meyeree that any such supplemental salary shall be paid wholly by
