  reentered such service after the first day of October, nineteen  hundred
  twenty,  whose  compensation  is  at  a rate not less than eight hundred
  forty dollars per annum, and who completed or shall complete six  months
  of city-service after such entrance or re-entrance.
    2.  All  persons in city-service, as defined in this chapter, who file
  with the board a statement duly executed and  acknowledged  waiving  and
  renouncing  all  present  and  prospective  benefits  provided wholly or
  partly by the city through any other retirement system or  pension  fund
  and  consenting  and  agreeing  to  membership and to the deductions for
  annuity purposes prescribed in this chapter.
    3. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision  of  section  13-184  of
  this  chapter,  or  any other provision of this chapter, or the code, or
  any other law, all persons in city-service, as defined in this  chapter,
  who  file  with  the  board  a  statement duly executed and acknowledged

  pension fund is or would be based, and, upon such subsequent retirement,
  payment of the benefits provided through such other retirement system or
  pension fund, which had been suspended, shall be resumed.
