actual age next birthday plus the difference between his actual age next birthday at date of commencement of contribution and the age of 20 next birthday, which in this Example is 1) so that the quantity found from the first section of Table B will be 6.04.

This officer receives an increment of salary when aged 39 next birth- day, when his wife's age is 35 next birthday. Assume as before that the ages next birthday are 40 and 35, so that the quantity found from the same section of Table B will be 2.79.

Note-It will be observed that the method given in the above two examples takes account of the actual number of years for which the annual con- tribution will run. In Example (1), when the officer receives the incre- ment of salary at the age 22 next birthday he has contributed for five years, so that at the expiration of 30 years from then his contribution will cease. Similarly, in Example (2), when the officer marries at age 24 next birthday, he also has contributed for five years, so that although he is two years older than the officer in Example (1), yet the unexpired period of contribution is the same in each case. (If the wife's age were also the same in each of these two cases, no important error would be in- volved in using the same tabular quantity for the two cases).

TABLE C-The quantities are given for the same ages as in Table A.

Ages

of husbands and wives younger than the youngest or older than the oldest age quoted in the Table are to be dealt with as in using Table A.

For the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by exact fifths, but where to do so would give a figure of more than two decimal points, that figure shall be taken to its nearest hundredth part of a unit. It must be noted, however, that in this Table an addition to the age of the wife results in a deduction from the quan- tity given in the Table.

EXAMPLE-

To find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively 37 and 29 next birthday-

The quantity for ages 37 and 25 next birthday given in the

Table is

4.68

The quantity for ages 37 and 30 next birthday given in the

Table is

4.08

So that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in a deduction of .6 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 37 and 25 next birthday.

An addition of four years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in a deduction of four-fifths of .6 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 37 and 25 next birthday.

Four-fifths of .6 .48, which deducted from 4.68 leaves 4.2, which is the required quantity corresponding to the ages 37 and 29 next birthday.

SECTION G-CONTRIBUTOR (EXCLUDING A CONTRIBUTOR WHO WAS A BACHELOR ON 30TH JUNE 1959) WHO COMMENCED TO CONTRIBUTE BEFORE, AND WAS STILL A CONTRIBUTOR ON, 1ST JULY 1959.

Note-The registered pension of such an officer is to be calculated in two parts, namely, the part purchased by contributions which fell due on or before the 30th June 1959, and the part purchased by contributions falling due on or after 1st day of July 1959, the first part on the Table in force on 30th June 1959 and the second part on the Tables in Part I of
