The annual allowance provided for in this chapter shall be determined upon the following basis: For an injury occurring after twenty years of service, the injured party is entitled to compensation equal to fifty percent of the average monthly pay received by the member during the three years immediately preceding the request for retirement; therefore, for an injury occurring prior to twenty years of service, an allowance shall be made based on the proportion that the number of years of actual service bears to twenty years. For example: If said service has been for five years, said allowance shall be 5/20ths of said fifty percent of the average monthly pay received by him during the three years immediately preceding the request for retirement.
