  § 1106. Commissions
    1.  The  public  administrators  of Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and
  Richmond counties  shall  each  retain  over  and  above  all  necessary
  expenses  upon  all  moneys which shall come into their respective hands
  the same commissions as are now or may hereafter be allowed  by  law  to
  fiduciaries under section 2307.
    2.  The  value  of  any  real  or  personal property and the increment
  thereof received, disbursed or delivered shall be considered as money in
  computing commissions, except where the real or  personal  property  has
  been specifically devised or bequeathed.
    3.  On  the  settlement  of the account of the public administrator in
  each instance, notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 1  and  2,
  the   court   may  allow  his  reasonable  and  necessary  expenses  and
  disbursements and in addition, a reasonable amount for the  expenses  of
  his  office, to be fixed by the court, and not to exceed the sum allowed
  in the respective offices of the public administrators  as  of  December
  31,  1992 unless prior to the proposed increase the public administrator
  has notified the administrative board in writing of the  amount  of  the
  proposed  increase  and  the  reason therefor. Unless the administrative
  board notifies the public administrator in  writing  that  the  proposed
  increase  has been approved by the board, the public administrator shall
  not implement such increase. The  board  must  pass  upon  the  proposed
  increase  within  sixty  days  of receipt of the request from the public
  administrator.
    4. The commissions and allowances provided for by this section may  be
  retained  by  the  respective public administrators in preference to any
  debts or claims except funeral expenses.
    5. The public administrators of Bronx, Kings,  New  York,  Queens  and
  Richmond  counties  shall  not  receive  to  their  own  use any fees or
  emoluments in addition to their salaries.
