7 Sec. 3-4007. Compensation. The Public Defender shall be
8 paid out of the county treasury as the sole compensation for
9 his services a salary in such amount as shall be fixed by the
10 County Board which salary in counties of less than 500,000
11 population but in excess of 100,000 shall not be less than
12 40% nor more than 100% of the compensation of the State's
13 Attorneys of such counties and in counties of 100,000 or less
14 population shall not be less than 25% nor more than 100% of
15 the compensation of the State's Attorneys of such counties.
16 In counties having a population of less than 500,000 but more
17 than 100,000, the State shall reimburse the county for
18 compensation paid to the Public Defender in an amount equal
19 to 40% of the compensation paid to the State's Attorney in
