in its discretion, shall so require, in such monthly payments
as the Board may determine, which amounts shall be deduct-

mission fee of Five Dollars ($5. 00) in addition to the repay-
ment of fees as provided by this Section.

(t) Time of Service shall not be construed to mean con-
tinuous service, but each and every applicant or participant
applying for a pension, shall be entitled to have all of the
service rendered by him in the Department of Fire accredited
to him, in whatsoever capacity he may have served in said
Department, provided such service is in the class of positions
in which he shall have been a member or participant of the
Fund, whether his service be continuous or not. He shall be
entitled to credit for actual service rendered by him in the
Army or Navy of the United States in time of emergency, or
for active service in the Maryland National Guard for preser-
vation of the peace and good order of the State.

(u) The Board shall have the right to invest the moneys of
the Fund only in State, County or municipal bonds of the

best interests of the Fund. All such investments shall be
made in the name of the Fire Department Pension Fund of
the City of Cumberland.

(v) The Board shall hold a regular meeting monthly at a
time and place to be fixed by the Board. Special meetings
may be called by the president whenever he deems it necessary,

Fire Department by death, resignation, discharge or retire-
ment of an elective member of the Board, the vacancy thus
created shall be filled by the Board at its next meeting and
such person elected shall serve for the unexpired term of the
removed member.
