      obligors  required  to  pay  public  employer contribution on account of
      members) in such fiscal year for the purposes hereinafter  specified  in
      this  paragraph  (to the extent that such income, interest and dividends
      are sufficient for such purposes),  in  the  order  of  priority  herein
      stated, as follows:
        (A)  first, to pay into the funds of the retirement system the amounts
      of regular interest which are required to be paid  into  such  funds  in
      such fiscal year by reason of being required to be allowed to such funds
      pursuant to the provisions of section 13-135 of this chapter, and to pay
      into  such funds the amounts of supplementary interest, if any, required
      to be so paid in such fiscal year under  the  applicable  provisions  of
      such  section,  and  to pay into the annuity savings fund the amounts of
      special interest, if any, required to be so paid  in  such  fiscal  year
      under  the  applicable  provisions  of such section, and to pay into the
      contingent reserve fund the amounts  of  additional  interest,  if  any,
      required  to be paid in such fiscal year under the applicable provisions
      of such section;
        (B) second, to pay into the contingent reserve fund the amount of  any
      losses  in  excess  of  gains (i) which net losses the retirement system
      sustained  during  such  fiscal  year  by  reason  of  sales  or   other
      dispositions of securities, and (ii) for which net losses the retirement
      system  is  required  to be reimbursed in such fiscal year, and (iii) to
      which net losses section 13-704 of this  title,  relating  to  graduated
      crediting of gains and amortization of losses on dispositions of certain
      securities, does not apply;
    
        (C)  third, if the total amount of such income, interest and dividends
      received during such fiscal year  is  in  excess  of  the  total  amount
      required  to  make,  in  such  fiscal  year,  the payments prescribed by
      subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph, the amount of  such  excess
      shall  be  paid into the contingent reserve fund and shall become a part
      of the assets of such fund.
        (2)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraph   one   of   this
      subdivision  or any other law to the contrary, any such income, interest
      or dividends which are received by the retirement system may be used for
      the purpose specified in section  13-705  of  this  title  (relating  to
      expenses  incurred  in  the  acquisition,  management  and protection of
      investments), regardless of when received  and  prior  to  use  for  the
      purposes stated in such paragraph one.
        (3)  (A)  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of this section or any
      other law to the contrary, the term "all income, interest and  dividends
      derived from deposits and investments", as used in paragraph two of this
      subdivision  (as  such  subdivision  was  in effect prior to July first,
      nineteen hundred eighty), shall be construed, in relation to disposition
      of all income, interest and dividends received by the retirement  system
      in  each  of  the  city's nineteen hundred seventy-six--nineteen hundred
      seventy-seven  and  nineteen  hundred  seventy-seven--nineteen   hundred
      seventy-eight  obligations  fiscal  years  (as  such  fiscal  years were
      defined by paragraph one of this subdivision prior to such July  first),
      as  meaning  the  remainder  obtained  by  subtracting from such income,
      interest and dividends (as  they  were  after  deducting  therefrom  the
      amount  of  any  expenses  charged thereto pursuant to the provisions of
      section 13-705 of this title) the sum of (i)  the  amounts  of  regular,
      supplementary  and special interest required to be allowed and paid into
      the appropriate funds of the  retirement  system  in  such  fiscal  year
      pursuant  to the applicable provisions of section 13-135 of this chapter
      and (ii) the amount of any losses in  excess  of  gains  (1)  which  net
      losses  were  sustained by the retirement system during such fiscal year
      and which net  losses  were  sustained  by  reason  of  sales  or  other
      dispositions  of  securities, and (2) to which net losses the provisions
      of section 13-704 of this title do not apply.
        (B)  for  the  purposes  of  the  order  of  priority  governing   the
      disposition of such remainder in the payment fiscal year with respect to
      each such obligations fiscal year (as such disposition was prescribed by
      the provisions of this subdivision as in effect during each such payment
      fiscal  year)  the  provisions  of  subparagraphs  (A)  and  (B) of such
      paragraph two shall be deemed to have been inapplicable and the order of
      priority for such disposition shall be  first,  the  use  set  forth  in
      subparagraph  (C)  of  such  paragraph,  second,  the  use  set forth in
      subparagraph (D)  of  such  paragraph,  third,  the  use  set  forth  in
      subparagraph  (E)  of  such  paragraph  and fourth, the use set forth in

      deposits  and  investments  authorized  by  this  chapter and which were

      seventy-eight--nineteen   hundred   seventy-nine  and  nineteen  hundred
      seventy-nine--nineteen  hundred  eighty  fiscal   years   shall   (after
      deducting  therefrom  any  amounts  chargeable  thereto  pursuant to the
      provisions of section 13-705 of this title) be used (in accordance  with
      the   respective   shares   of   such  income,  interest  and  dividends
      attributable to the city and  other  obligors  required  to  pay  public
      employer  contributions  on account of members) in each such fiscal year

      and  which would otherwise be required by such section to be credited in
      favor of the responsible public employer in installments.
        (b) If the  total  amount  of  such  income,  interest  and  dividends
      received  during  each such fiscal year referred to in subparagraph a of
