Description
This is an appeal from a judgment entered pursuant to an order of the District Court of St. Louis County reversing an order
and determination of the St. Louis County Civil Service Commission by which petitioner was separated from service as a county
employee because of a rule of the commission requiring compulsory retirement at the age of 65. The essential issue is whether
the legislature delegated to the commission authority to adopt a valid rule with reference to compulsory retirement because
of age. The issue came before the lower court on certiorari to the civil service commission which had denied petitioner's appeal
from a notice of compulsory retirement issued by the St. Louis County Civil Service Director. It was stipulated, before both
the commission and the district court, that petitioner, Edward M. Essling, was a veteran of World War I and entitled to the
benefits of L. 1941, c. 423; that he had been employed by the St. Louis County Highway Department since April 1, 1929, and
continued as a permanent member of the county's classified civil service until termination of his employment on July 1, 1966;
that his date of birth was December 26, 1898, and that he had attained the age of compulsory retirement on the date of notice,
February 28, 1966; that he was compelled to retire on July 1, 1966; that between 1943 and the date of his separation from
service he was employed as a division maintenance superintendent by the county highway department; and that, in addition to
salary, he was entitled to benefits including vacation, medical, and retirement benefits.
