12        Section  5-132:  An  annuity  equal to 50% of the average
13        salary for the 4 highest consecutive years of the last 10

27        (C)  If,  on  withdrawal,  total  service is less than 20
28    years, the policeman shall not  be  entitled  to  an  annuity
29    under this Section but may receive an annuity under the other

31    Section 5-163,  a  refund  of  the  deductions  from  salary,
32    including, in the case of policemen transferred to the police
33    service  of  the  city under the Exchange of Functions Act of
34    1957, the additional contribution  paid  on  salary  received
