Description
The plaintiff became a member of the
Hartford fire department on October 1, 1919, after
he had completed a term of military service in World
War I. He served continuously therein until called
for active duty in the United States navy on August
8, 1941. He was honorably released from the navy
on October 17, 1945. Thereupon he returned to the
Hartford fire department and continued as a member
thereof until January 31, 1950, when he was compelled
to retire because he had reached the age of sixty-five
years. Special Act No. 3941 was passed by
the General Assembly in 1945. 24 Spec. Laws 776. It
is conceded that, for pension purposes, this act
entitled the plaintiff to add the term of his service
in World War I to his actual service for the city. It
[139 Conn. 312]
is likewise conceded that, in accordance with 2-54
and 2-56 of the Hartford Charter and General
Ordinances, 1949 (enacted in 1945) he, like every
other city employee, is also entitled to have
included the time during which he was in military
service during World War II. He claims that by
reason of Special Act No. 281[fn1a] enacted in 1949
(25 Spec. Laws 1021) he is entitled to an additional
credit of one month for each month of his service
in the armed forces during World War II. The
defendant has denied this claim, taking the position
that Special Act No. 281 is invalid. The question
reserved for the advice of this court is (a) whether
that act is valid or (b) whether the computation of
service time under it "would constitute exclusive
emoluments or privileges from the community to the
plaintiff or a group of policemen and firemen based
upon no reasonable classification."
