  2. (b) subject to a deduction equal to the portion of the annual contributions which would, if the said second appointed day had been the first day of March, nineteen hundred and thirty-five, have been payable by the council under section forty-five of the said Act of 1934 in respect of the period in relation to which the grant is payable; and
