24    the retirement and benefit fund established under  Article  7

29    by  the  participant paying to this System an amount equal to

 5    the  System's  actuary  as  of  the date of the participant's
 6    membership in the System, multiplied by  the  salary  of  the
 7    judge  on such date for each year of service for which credit
