     423.48 Contribution by members; deduction by treasurer; 
  separation or death. 

    In addition, and only if such tax is levied, the city 
 treasurer, finance commissioner, or other officer charged with 
 the responsibility of the city's finances, shall, each month, 
 deduct from the salary of each police officer of such city 
 subject to the provisions of sections 423.41 to 423.62, four 
 percent of the basic pay of all such police officers of such 
 city, and transfer the total thereof to the treasurer of the 
 special fund of the police officers' relief association, who 
 shall credit said total to the special fund of such association 
 and to the credit of each individual police officer from whose 
 pay said deductions were so made. 

    If a police officer in any such city is separated from the 
 service due to resignation or some reason not involving 
 malfeasance, nonfeasance, moral turpitude, or if separation from 
 such service is caused by injury, death, or other disability, 
 under such circumstances that no pension benefits are payable to 
 the police officer or a surviving spouse or children, the 
 treasurer of the special fund shall return to such police 
 officer, or in case of death, to the heirs, executors, or 
 administrators, all of the amounts so deducted from the police 
 officer's base pay without interest, but less the amount of any 
 disability or other benefits theretofore paid to such police 
 officer.
