(A) It is the legislative intent and purpose of this subchapter to provide certain retirement, disability, death and withdrawal benefits to firefighters of the city in the amounts and under the terms and conditions herein set forth.
(B) The purpose of the system is to provide an orderly means whereby firefighters of the city who become superannuated or otherwise incapacitated as the result of age or disability may be retired from active service without prejudice and without inflicting a hardship upon the firefighters retired, and to enable such firefighters to accumulate reserves for themselves and their beneficiaries to provide for old age, disability, death, and termination of employment, thus effecting economy and efficiency in the administration of city government.
