the rate of salary payable to the officer shall, while he holds the first mentioned rank, be the rate specified from time to time in relation to a member who holds

the second mentioned rank and who has completed the number of years service in the second mentioned rank equal to the number of years service in the second mentioned rank for which, on the date of that appointment, the rate that is next higher than the first mentioned rate is appropriate.
