15. When the salary of any contributor shall be reduced, either by his retirement on pension or otherwise, the monthly contribution to be made by him during his remaining period for contribution as laid down in the preceding section, shall be four per cent. of the actual salary or pension to which he is entitled, and the pension payable on his death to his widow or orphans shall be reduced by the same amount as would have been added to it had such contributor's salary been increased in the same ratio as that in which it has been diminished. But such contributor may, should he so desire, continue his previous rate of contribution for the remainder of his said period on his giving notice in writing to the directors of his intention to do so, in which case his widow or orphans shall be granted the full pension to which such rate of contribution entitles them.
16. A contributor who, for any reason except transfer to other employment under the Crown, or dismissal for misconduct, shall retire from the service without being entitled to pension, or whose office shall be abolished with- out his being entitled to a pension, shall cease to have any interest in the fund, and neither the widow nor orphan of such contributor shall have any claim upon such fund. But such contributor shall be entitled to repayment from the fund of one half of his total contributions thereto without interest, provided such claim be lodged in the hands of the Colonial Treasurer in writing within six months from the retirement of such contributor from the service of the Colony.
17. When any contributor, being a bachelor, or a widower without children born in wedlock, shall retire unmarried from the service on pension, one half his total contributions to the fund shall be repaid to him without interest, provided his claim is lodged in manner prescribed by the preceding section.
18. When any contributor shall be transferred from the service of the Colony to other employment under the Crown, he shall, from the date of such transfer, cease to contribute to the fund, but his widow or children, as the case may bc, shall be entitled, on the death of such contributor, to a pension computed on the basis of the interest acquired by such contributor in the fund at the date of his transfer, in accordance with the tables hereinafter referred to. And if, when such contributor retires from the service of the Crown on pension, he is a bachelor or a widower without children born in wedlock, he may claim repayment from the fund of half of his total contributions, without interest, provided his claim is lodged in the manner prescribed by section 16.
19. No contributor who has been dismissed from the public service for misconduct nor his wife or children shall bave any claim upon the fund on account of the contribu- tions of such contributor thereto.
