(b) the annual value of his emoluments, | ||
subject to the proviso that there shall be no contributions in respect of a period in respect of which he had neither salary nor emoluments. | ||
(2) The contribution to be made by a pensionable officer of a local authority under this section may be obtained by such local authority by means of periodical deductions from his salary and emoluments, but, if any such deduction proper to be made by a local authority from his salary and emoluments is not made, such local authority may, without prejudice to any other remedy, recover the amount by retaining it out of any sums due by them to him or out of any lump sum, allowance or gratuity payable by them to or in respect of him. | ||
