The teacher retirement bill spec that membership is optional with teachers; that member teachers may tire at-the age of 60 and must etire at 70; that all teachers now pensioned by the State be transferred to the system. together with the residue of all appropriations made for payment of such pensions; that teach- ers now in service and those who enroll after the bill becomes effective @are made members of the system, un- less they notify the trustees in writ- eg that they do not wish to partici- pate and waive all benefits, in which event they would come under the regular pension laws. Retirement for disability after five years' service, on recommendation of & medical board, is also provided. and pensions, and an annuity based on their contributions, would be paid member teachers on their retirement for age or disability. Death benefits would aiso be paid. The bill provides that, in the event of their retirement for age, the mem- ber teachers be paid an annuity based on their contributions. a ‘pension equal to 1140th of thelr last annual salary | multiplied by the number of vears | serivce while & member of the system in addition to a pension computed by multiplying 1-70th of their final pay with the years of service before the: joined. This also applies to retire ment for disability after 60 years o aze. Those retired for disability under * 60, would receive an annuity based on contributions together with a pension, which, when added to the annuity, equals 90 per cent of 1-70th of their last year's pay multiplied by their years of service. The bill states, however, that in no case shall this compensation be less than one-quarter of the final pay. In case of death, the teacher's estate or beneficiaries receive the ac- cumulated contributions paid to the system, together with a sum equal to one-half of the teacher’s final annual pay.
