    § 9. Temporary  total  disability  benefits.  In the case of temporary
  total disability the volunteer firefighter shall  be  paid  one  hundred
  twenty-five  dollars  for  each  week  during  the  continuance thereof;
  provided, however, that when the volunteer firefighter is injured in the
  line of duty on or after July first, nineteen hundred  seventy-eight  to
  December  thirty-first, nineteen hundred seventy-eight, said firefighter
  shall receive one hundred eighty dollars per week during the continuance
  thereof; and further provided, that when the  volunteer  firefighter  is
  injured  in the line of duty on or after January first, nineteen hundred
  seventy-nine to June  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-three,  said
  firefighter  shall  receive  two hundred fifteen dollars per week during
  the continuance thereof; and further provided, that when  the  volunteer
  firefighter  is  injured  in  the  line  of duty on or after July first,
  nineteen  hundred  eighty-three  to  June  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred
  eighty-four,  said  firefighter  shall  receive  two  hundred fifty-five
  dollars per week during the continuance thereof; and  further  provided,
  that when the volunteer firefighter is injured in the line of duty on or

  further  provided, that when the volunteer firefighter is injured in the

  disability continues for a longer period than the number  of  weeks  set

  twenty-five  weeks;  eye,  twenty weeks; thumb, twenty-four weeks; first
  finger, eighteen weeks; great toe, twelve weeks; second  finger,  twelve

  above  mentioned  for  such  injury,  benefits  shall  be limited to the
  schedule contained in section ten of this article.
