(2.) The abatement of four per centum from the salaries and pensions of public officers shall be made by the Treasurer, or in case of payments made by the Crown Agents by such Crown Agents, upon each occasion of payment of salary or pension, and shall be placed to the credit of "The Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund":

Provided that in the latter case such abatement of four per centum shall be calculated and made in dollars by the Crown Agents on the full salary in dollars payable to such public officer when employed in the Colony, or on the pension in dollars payable to such public officer if resident in the Colony, and such public officer shall be entitled to receive from the Crown Agents the equivalent in sterling of the balance in dollars of such salary or pension, calculated at the rate at which such public officer is entitled to receive such salary or pension in England.

And in the case of a public officer entitled only to a half of such full salary, such public officer shall be entitled to receive from the Crown Agents the equivalent in sterling calculated in manner aforesaid of the balance in dollars of the half of such full salary after the abatement of four per centum has been calculated on such full salary in dollars and made on the half of such full salary in dollars.

(3) In the event of such abatement not being made, every public officer shall pay to the Treasurer or Crown Agents within fifteen days after the receipt by him of his salary or pension a sum equal to four per centum upon his monthly salary or pension, or in the event of any public officer being on leave without salary such public officer shall pay before the fifteenth day of each and every month during the continuance of such leave, to the Treasurer or Crown Agents, a sum equal to four per centum upon the full salary which he would have received monthly had he not been on leave. All sums due under the provisions of this sub-section and the arrears of any contribution due and payable under the provisions of the Ordinance No. 30 of 1890 shall be taken to be a debt due to the fund by the public officer, and shall be payable to the Treasurer or Crown Agents, together with interest thereon at six per centum per annum, forthwith or by such instalments as the directors may determine. The Treasurer or the Crown Agents shall, upon the written order of the directors or of any two of them, deduct from any moneys which may be or may become due or payable to the public officer by whom such debt is payable the whole or any part of such debt.

10. The abatement of four per centum from the salary or pension of a public officer shall continue to be made until such officer has either attained the age of sixty-five years or has been subject to the abatement for thirty-five successive years; Provided that no public officer shall be compelled to pay and shall thereupon cease to contribute beyond such as would bring up the total contributions to the amount which a widow or child or children might be entitled to at the end of any period of thirty-five years or at the age of sixty-five years, whichever may first happen.

11. A public officer who from any cause whatever ceases to belong to the public service and retires on a pension shall not be called upon to make any further contribution to the fund beyond a monthly abatement from his pension of four per centum on such pension, to commence from the date of his retirement until he attains sixty-five years of age or has been subject to abatement for thirty-five years when such abatement shall cease. Provided that in the event of such pension being reduced, no wife or child of such public officer shall be entitled to any benefit from the fund.

12. Whenever the salary of a public officer becomes reduced by abatement of the emoluments or by retirement on pension, such public officer may elect to continue to contribute upon the higher salary which he was receiving previous to such reduction, and subject to the same terms and conditions as if he had continued to draw the higher salary. Should such public officer not elect so to continue to contribute upon the higher salary, and contribute on the lower salary or pension, any pension to his widow or children shall be diminished in the same amount as it would have been increased had such public officer's salary been increased and not diminished.

13. A public officer who may retire from the public service, or who may be deprived of his office in respect of which he contributed to the fund, but who shall not be entitled to a pension, may continue to contribute from the date of his so retiring or being deprived of his office on the salary on which he was last contributing to the fund, but shall have no claim thereon.
