Description
The plaintiffs, taxpayers in the town of
Cheshire, sought a judgment in the Superior
Court declaring "An Act Establishing a
Police Department in the Town of Cheshire" (27
Spec. Laws 52) unconstitutional and void and that
all action taken pursuant to it was illegal. They
asked for an injunction to restrain the police
commissioners and the police officers appointed by
the commissioners from doing anything further and
to restrain the selectmen and the town treasurer
from paying out any town funds in consequence of
this legislation. The court rendered a judgment
Which in effect sustained the legality of the
legislation and the proceedings taken by reason of
it, and the plaintiffs have appealed. The facts are not in dispute. In May, 1954, the
town of Cheshire, presuming to act under General
Statutes 656-661, in a special town meeting
raised a police commission, and the selectmen
appointed the members of it pending the next town
election. The commission appointed police
officers. In an action in the nature of quo
warranto, the Superior Court pointed out that
656-658 had been repealed in 1953 (Cum. Sup. 1953,
207c-209c, 526c; Cum. Sup. 1955, 260d-262d
