The provisions of Section 61(e) of the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1956, in relation to payments under that Act in respect of deceased persons are similar to those contained in Section 8 of the Superannuation Act, 1887. The amount specified in the latter Act was increased subsequent to the enactment of the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1956.
