 of an amount to be determined as follows, namely: 



After one year of continuous service, an amount 

 equal to twenty-five per cent, of his or her average 

 annual salary during the time when he or she was a 

 subscribing employee, computed on the basis of his or 

 her contributions to the Pension Fund, with an increase

§ 14. In the event that a subscribing employee who 

 is not in receipt of, or entitled to, a pension under any 

 of the other provisions of these rules, shall, by illness

 provisions of these rules, would have been paid to

 such employee shall be convicted of a felony committed 

 while in the service of the Corporation, or shall be 

 dismissed by the Corporation for dishonesty in his 

 relations to the Corporation, the Trustees of the Cor- 

 poration, upon recommendation of a resolution adopted 

 by the votes of not less than six members of the Pension 

 Board, may exclude the said employee from all rights
