  services as a fireman earned from the date of his minimum period to  the
  date of his retirement.
    b.  "Fireman" means a paid officer or member of the uniformed force of
  the fire department of a city.
    c. "Minimum period" means a fixed number of  years  of  service  as  a

  law, charter or administrative code and in lieu  of  any  lesser  amount
  thereby  prescribed,  in  the event a fireman has served as such for his

  subsequent  retirement for any cause whatsoever, there shall be added to

  entitled upon such retirement, an additional amount computed at the rate
  of one-sixtieth  of  his  final  compensation  for  each  year  of  such
  additional service.
