(1) The first payment or contribution to be made by the city of Alexandria shall be paid as soon as the first board of trustees shall have been elected and has begun to function, the payment to be for the city's fiscal year ending April 30, 1941, provided that payments shall be collected from the members of the fire department beginning with the month of August, 1940.

(2) In order to permit the accumulation of money in the fund so that benefits herein provided may be paid, and to put the fund on a sound basis financially, no benefit herein provided shall be paid from said fund, nor shall any sum be withdrawn to pay any such claim or benefit until and unless there shall have been accumulated, either in cash or in investments thereof, the full sum of twenty thousand dollars. If and in the event claims against the said fund shall have accrued prior to the accumulation of the said amount, payment of said claims shall be held in abeyance and they shall thereafter be paid upon there being accumulated in said fund the said amount of twenty thousand dollars, as aforementioned.
