|
|
| |
such member of the said police shall during the period between his said resignation or dismissal and his said reinstatement, be deemed to have been absent on leave without pay, and shall for the purpose of increment of pay and for the purpose of pension be entitled to add such period to such periods of service before such resignation or dismissal and after such reinstatement as he is otherwise entitled to reckon for those purposes.
