<br />City Charter provides "if a~y member of either the police or fire department shall leave the service for eny
<br />cause or reason, there shall he paid to him not less than one-half of such remounts, if any, as may have been
<br />deducted frum his salary en account of contributions which he may have been required to make to the Pension F~md.
<br /> Section 19-? of the City Or,intones provides "any policeman or fireman who has served
<br />in th~ division for twenty years or mere amd has not or ~oes not receive a pension and who has heretofore been
<br />dismissed or shall hereafter vol~utarily leave or Be dismissed from the division, shall be refunded the deduc-
<br />tians fram his salary, made under this Chapter".
<br /> Neither of the above sections makes any mention of repayment of the fund in case ~f
<br />death, and the Council should establish a policy in this particular. Under the Charter provision, the Council
<br />is required to reik~ not less than one-half of the fund and under the ordinance p~evi$ion the entire l~md is
<br />re~anded where the person has bee~ employed mere than twenty years."
