County, including a judge who was continued in office as a judge of
the District Court pursuant to Article IV, Section 41-I (g) of the
Constitution, shall be paid, after the termination of active service, if
he is at least sixty-five years of age, a pension or salary calculated at
the rate of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per annum for each year,
or any part thereof, of active service, up to and including sixteen
years of such active service,, so that the maximum pension or salary
for such service payable hereunder to any person shall not exceed the
sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00) per annum, provided, how-

under this subsection shall receive a pension or salary, unless such
person involuntarily be caused to resign or to retire therefrom be-

after voluntarily retires from active service after reaching the age of
sixty-five years and resumes the practice of law, shall not be entitled
to the pension or salary provided by this subsection, or any portion
thereof. In the event that a retired judge engaged in the practice of
law should thereafter relinquish such practice and notify the County
Executive of Prince George's County of such fact, then, from and
after the date of such notification the judge shall be entitled to all the
benefits provided by this subsection. This subsection shall apply to all
judges already retired from active service except as provided herein.
Any former judge who accepts any salaried public office or position,
municipal, county, State or federal, shall not be paid any pension or
salary so long as he remains in such office or position. In the event that
a retired judge serving in any salaried public office or position as
above enumerated, should thereafter relinquish such office or position
and notify the County Executive of Prince George's County of such

be entitled to all the benefits as provided by this subsection. The
County Council of Prince George's County is hereby expressly author-
ized to levy for and pay pensions and salaries to such former judges
of the People's Court who served on the said court upon the terms and
for the periods as herein provided; and any such provision heretofore
made is hereby ratified and confirmed.

(2)  The widow of every such judge who dies in active service shall
be paid one half of the pension to which such judge would have been
entitled on the date of his death if he had been eligible for retirement
and had retired on said date irrespective of whether he shall have
attained the age of sixty-five at the date of his death. The widow of
every such judge who dies after retiring shall be paid one half of the
pension which such judge was receiving at the date of his death. In
order to be entitled to the pension provided by this subsection, a
