  in  the  employ of the city or of any of the municipalities, counties or
  parts thereof which  have  been  incorporated  into  the  city  and  any
  officer,  clerk  or  employee  whose  salary or compensation is a county
  charge who shall have been employed for a period  of  thirty  years  and
  upwards  and  who shall have become physically or mentally incapacitated

  office paid by fees to a salaried office.
