Each assistant attorney for the Commonwealth, * authorized by law,
if his services shall be deemed necessary by the Compensation Board, shall

however, that in cities having a population of more than two hundred
and twenty thousand inhabitants, each assistant attorney for the Common-
wealth shall receive an annual salary of not more than three-fourths of
the salary received by the attorney for the Commonwealth of his city.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section the
Compensation Board may, with the consent of the attorney for the Com-
monwealth affected thereby, fix the salary of any attorney for the Com-
monwealth at an amount less than the minimum provided hereinafter.
