[CAP. 94

Widows and Orphans Pension.

(B) Variations of pension consequent on the re-marriage of the contributor.

NOTE. No variation of the registered pension is to be recorded if the second or subsequent wife was at the date of the re-marriage of the same age next birthday as the last preceding wife would have been had she survived to that date.

RULE II (b)—If the second, or subsequent, wife was at the date of the re-marriage of a less or greater age next birthday than the last preceding wife would have been had she survived to that date, multiply the amount of the registered pension by the quantity found from Table C corresponding to the age next birthday of the husband at the date of re-marriage, and the age next birthday which the last preceding wife would have attained had she survived to that date; multiply the product so obtained by the quantity found from Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and of the second, or subsequent, wife at the date of the re-marriage.

The result gives the registered pension to be recorded on the re-marriage of the contributor.

Example of the application of Rule II (b).

Assume particulars as in the example subjoined to Rules I (a) and I (b).

First wife died on 30th November, 1908.
Contributor re-married on 31st January, 1913.
Contributor's age next birthday at date of re-marriage 35.
Second wife born on 30th June, 1893.
Second wife's age next birthday at date of the re-marriage 20.
Age next birthday which the first wife would have attained had she survived to date of the re-marriage 25.

The second wife being of a less age next birthday at the date of the re-marriage than the first wife would have been had she survived, the registered pension $235.47 [see example subjoined to Rules I (a) and I (b)] is to be recalculated.

Quantity found from Table C—
Husband 35
Wife 25 } 2.074

Quantity found from Table A—
Husband 35
Wife 20 } .462

$235.47 X 2.074 = $488.36.
$488.36 X .462 = $225.62 registered pension at 31st January, 1913.
