This section is lengthy and involved. It deals
with County employees, County school district
teachers and employees, and employees of the
City of Atlanta. It further deals with these
employees who have not been transferred and who
were not allowed, at the time of the transfer,
credit for all of their service with the govern-
ment from which they were transferred. It pro-
vides for the transfer of matching funds and for
the payment of the employees contribution. It

such induction an actual conflict or such induc-
tion is mandatory, and if the employee has not
voluntarily extended his term of service beyond
the termination of the conflict or beyond the
time when he could retire from such service, then
the employee, provided he did not receive a dis-
honorable discharge, is entitled, upon his returm
to the service of the City, for the time spent in

same contributions to the pension fund for the
time served in the armed forces as he would have
made if he had been in the active service of the

prior to such service, was an employee of the City.
