tuarial equivalent at that time of a pension and additional pension
payable at the age of sixty in the amounts computed as provided in

(b)  and (c) above and (e) (1) below; or such member may elect at
the time of retirement to have his service retirement allowance de-

therein provided.

(e) (1) Notwithstanding anything in this sub-title to the con-
trary, if at the time of retirement after June 30, 1962, [a member is
age sixty or older, or has 30 years of service and] the retirement
allowance consisting of the annuity resulting from the member's
regular contributions and the pension determined in accordance with
paragraphs (b) and (c) above is less than one-seventieth of average
final compensation for each year of creditable service, an additional
pension equal to the difference between such allowance shall be pay-
able; except that as to any such member who contributed on the basis
of retirement at age 65 under the provisions of Section 14 (1) (b)
and as to any elected or appointed official or employee who waived
the payment of such contributions as provided in [Section] Sections

the age of sixty, the additional pension equal to the difference between
such allowance shall be reduced on an actuarial equivalent basis;
provided, further, that the additional pension so provided herein

been reduced by way of an execution; garnishment, attachment, or

service, if such retirement allowance exceeds one quarter of his
average final compensation; otherwise, a pension which, together
with his annuity, shall provide a total retirement allowance equal to
one quarter of his average final compensation, provided, however,
that no such allowance shall exceed one seventieth of his average
final compensation multiplied by the number of years which would be
