No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of Randall Williams under chapter 32 of the General Laws for any service subsequent to his reaching 65 years of age and, upon retirement, Randall Williams shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired at 65 years of age.
