(d-1) On and after July 1, 1967, the classifications and pay scales of the several
positions referred to in this section shall be in the same relative position in the
standard salary scale then in effect as in the standard salary scales in effect on

from and after July 1, 1967, shall be at least ten per centum (10%) greater than
immediately prior thereto.

(e)  The salaries of all persons coming under the provisions of this section shall
be paid by the several counties and the mayor and city council of Baltimore City.
A sum equivalent to sixty per centum (60%) of the annual salary, according to the
respective salary ranges specified in this section, shall be paid by the Comptroller
for the State of Maryland from general funds to the several counties and the City
of Baltimore, such payments to be made to the counties and Baltimore City
quarterly. The several counties and Baltimore City are hereby directed to levy
annually such sums as may be required to pay the remaining forty per centum
(40%) of said salaries. Notwithstanding the provision of this subsection, in Anne
Arundel, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's counties, the county shall levy and pay
a sum equal to the amount required as the State's share of the salaries, as
prescribed in this subsection. In Allegany, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, and
Washington counties, the counties shall provide a supplement often percent (10%)
above the applicable scales.

(f)  The board of county commissioners or the county council of any county and
the mayor and city council of Baltimore in its discretion may levy and pay an
additional sum in excess of the salary schedules provided in this section as extra
compensation for any such position. In such event, however, the portion of the
salaries to be paid by the State shall be limited to the amount and percentage for
any such position which are specified in this section.

(g)   Nothing in this section shall be construed or applied so as to reduce the
aggregate salary being received as of June 30, 1957, by any person, including any
local supplementation to his salary in addition to the salary received under any
State schedule of payments.]
