277.270 Railroad policemen, how appointed and removed. (1) Any company owning or operating a railroad in this state may apply to the Governor to appoint and commission as railroad policemen such persons as the company designates. The Governor, upon such application being made and upon the payment to him of a fee of five dollars ($5) for each policeman to be appointed, shall appoint such persons as the company designates, or as many thereof as he deems proper to be such policemen, and shall give commissions to those appointed. (2) When a railroad company no longer needs the services of a railroad policeman so appointed, notice to that effect, signed by the general manager or by the person in charge of operating the railroad, may be filed in the several offices in which the commission of the policeman is recorded. The clerk shall note the fact upon the margin of the record where the commission is recorded, and thereupon the power of the policeman shall cease as to any particular county in which such notice is so filed and recorded.
