For service prior to January 1, 1969, a city contribution for widow's annuity purposes of an amount equal to the amount which would have accumulated to his credit from city contributions for widow's annuity to such date, including interest at the effective rate, had he been a participant and contributor during all of his service credited as service in such House of Correction Employees' Pension Fund prior to such date.
