lation  of  more  than  one  hundred thousand and less than five hundred
thousand according to the last federal census, exclusive of  the  county
of  Richmond,  and  the  district  attorney  of any county, the board of

pursuant  to  subdivision  eight  of section seven hundred of the county

in  the  county  in which the district attorney is elected or appointed,
together with such additional compensation as the  legislative  body  of
such  county  may  provide  by  local law. THE STATE SHALL REIMBURSE THE
COUNTIES FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL SALARY  OF  A
DISTRICT  ATTORNEY  DUE TO AN INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL SALARY OF A JUSTICE

in  salaries  decided  upon by the New York state commission on legisla-
tive, judicial & executive compensation.
