express provision of law or competent administrative authority or, if
the general funds of the municipality permit, when he is absent from
his office because of his illness contracted through no fault of his
own, provided the absence in the latter case does not exceed thirty
days during the year, which fact must be attested by an affidavit of
the interested party and by a medical certificate or, if there be no
physician in the locality, by a health officer's certificate; and if
during such authorized or justified absence the vice-mayor or a
councilor temporarily discharges the local duties of the mayor, the
officer rendering such service shall receive compensation in an amount
which shall be fixed by the council, which amount shall be equal to the
salary of mayor for the same period: Provided, That per diem for
