Compensation
of Commonwealth's Attorney.
The
compensation of the Commonwealth's Attorney shall be by salary and such percentage of
fines and forfeitures as may be fixed by law, and such salary shall be uniform in so far
as the same shall be paid out of the State Treasury, and not to exceed the sum of five
hundred dollars per annum; but any county may make additional compensation, to be paid by
said county. Should any percentage of fines and forfeitures be allowed by law, it shall
not be paid except upon such proportion of fines and forfeitures as have been collected
and paid into the State Treasury, and not until so collected and paid.
