No person may become an officer or employee of the city or town drawing compensation from the city or town equal to or in excess of $75.00 per month who is related to a commissioner by consanguinity or affinity in the third degree under the civil law, and no person may become an officer or employee of the city or town at a salary or compensation equal to or in excess of $75.00 per month if there is already a commissioner, officer, or employee of the city or town who is related to such person by consanguinity or affinity in the third degree or any nearer degree by the civil law. This section shall not operate to disqualify any candidate for commissioner elected as such, but his election shall operate to disqualify the person within the prohibited degree of relationship from further employment by the city or town after said commissioner enters upon the discharge of his duties.
