22 borough, town or township and shall fix the age of the members
23 of the force at fifty-five years, or, if an actuarial study of
1 the cost shows that such reduction in age is feasible, may fix
2 the age of the members of the force at fifty years, or, if an
3 actuarial study shows that the plan is feasible and the member

12 or preservation of the public peace until unfitted for such
