§  122.  Compensation  of  official referees.   Every official referee  continued in office and serving under the  provisions  of  this  article  shall  receive  as  compensation one-half of the amount now or hereafter  paid to the  incumbent  of  the  office  which  he  held  prior  to  his  retirement;   provided,  however,  that  any  official  referee  of  the  municipal court of the city of New York in the first or second  judicial  department   so  continued  in  office  shall  receive  as  compensation  three-fourths of the amount paid to the incumbent of the office which he  held prior to his retirement. Any official referee of the city court  of  the  city  of  New  York who is serving as such on April tenth, nineteen  hundred  forty-six,  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  as  compensation,  two-thirds  of  the  amount paid to the incumbent of the office which he  held prior to his retirement. Any official referee of the supreme  court  heretofore  or  hereafter appointed who shall be assigned for service as  such official referee in any county outside of  the  county  wherein  he  resides,  and  any official referee of the court of appeals who shall be  assigned for service as such official referee in any county  outside  of  the  county  wherein  he  resides,  shall  receive  in  addition  to the  compensation provided for by this chapter, his actual traveling expenses  from his residence to the  place  in  such  county  where  he  has  been  assigned  for  services  as  such official referee and, if such place is  less than twenty-five miles from his residence, the sum of  ten  dollars  per  diem  and  if such place where he has been so assigned is more than  twenty-five miles from his residence the sum of twenty dollars per  diem  and  he  shall receive such additional moneys during the time that he is  actually engaged in rendering services as an official  referee  in  such  county.  The  manner of payment of such compensation and its sources are  to be the same as in the case of the incumbent of the office from  which  such official referee has retired.
