age set forth in the preceding sentence as the
compulsory age of retirement during any twelve (12)
months, prior to the beginning of the twelve (12)
months, shall be retired on the first day of the twelve
(12) months.
(e) A member retired after meeting the requirements of
paragraphs (c) or (d) next preceding, shall receive a
retirement allowance equal to fifty percent (50%) of
the compensation attached to the average rank held
during the three (3) years immediately preceding such
retirement, plus an additional allowance at the rate of
one and two-thirds percent (1 2/3%) of said
compensation for each year of service rendered after
July 1, 1951, and after qualifying for service
retirement, not to exceed ten (10) years. A member
required to retire under paragraph (d) next preceding
before completing twenty (20) years of service in the
aggregate computed under Section 2609, shall receive a

of service, as the service with which he is entitled to

other cause than injury received in or illness caused
by the performance of duty, two-thirds (2/3) of the
retirement allowance to which the member would have
been entitled if he had retired for service at the time
of death, or two-thirds (2/3) of the retirement
allowance as it was at death, as the case may be, shall

widow, to the dependents of the member in the order of
succession as defined in Section 2612, provided that if
retirement was for injury received in or illness caused
by the performance of duty and if death occurs prior to
the date upon which the member would have qualified for
service retirement, the allowance continued shall be
reduced upon said date in the same manner as it would
have been reduced had the member not died.
