(a) in case the salary or wages of the later office are equal to or greater than the salary or wages of the former office—such person shall not be paid the allowance;

(b) in any other case—such person shall be paid no more of the allowance than so much thereof as, together with the salary or wages of the later office, equals the salary or wages of the former office.

(2) If and so long as an allowance payable by any person and contributed to by another person is, in pursuance of this section, not paid, the contribution shall also not be paid.
