1346 [30 OF 1890. ) WIDOWS' AND ORPHANS' PENSIONS.
arising is entitled to should be computed by the same rule — regard
being had to the cessation of further contributions, and to the accre
tion only of 6 per cent. compound interest upon the estimated
assessed interest at the time of transfer.
EXAMPLE : Thus, if the total contributions of such member
during bachelorhood and up to the time of transfer amount
at interest to $ 200, and if this sum , when further accumu
lated at 6 per cent. compound interest, amount to $ 300
by the time of his first marriage, and if the ages of himself
and wife at marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then
$ 300 x 2927 = $ 87.8 = wife's pension.
Second Wife : Take the pension as above determined , and multiply it
ly the quantity found in table C corresponding to the respective
ages of the husband and that of his late wife at the time of the
husband's second marriage; multiply this last product by the quan
tity found in table A corresponding to the respective ages of the
husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage ( vide art.
1 C. )
EXAMPLE : Thus, if at the date of re-marriage the age of
such husband's first wife would have been 35, his own age
is 45 , and that of his second wife is 30 , then , if the pension
to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled
to, as found above, be $87.8, then
$87.8 x 3.777 X 2,153 = $81 : 3 = second wife's pension .
Third, 8c., Wife: For a third, or subsequently taken wife, take the
pension for the last existing wife and proceed to adjust it in the
manner shown for the case of the second wife.
7. IF SUCH MEMBER BE Married, OR A WIDOWER, AT THE TIME OF
HIS TRANSFER .
The widow's pension attaching to his then wife, or his supposed wife
( if he be a widower) should be abated by just the amount that it
would be increased corresponding to the amount of contributions
that suche member will cease to pay upon transfer from the Public
Service of the Colony, and according to the principles laid down in
art. 4. Again, this abatei pension should be adjusted upon re
marriage, in the manner shown in art. 6, corresponding to the then
ages of the husband and wife.
