(1975) Held an increase in pensions for persons already retired based on cost of living violates article VI, § 25, Constitution of Missouri, and that pension funds retain their identity as public funds. Section 86.441 insofar as it applies to persons already retired on August 13, 1972, is unconstitutional. Police Retirement System v. Kansas City (Mo.), 529 S.W.2d 388.
