Except as otherwise herein provided, no person shall be appointed as a member or officer

of the paid fire department or force or as a paid member or officer of a part-paid

person, as a permanent fireman, employed by said municipality prior to the adoption

of the ordinance creating and establishing a paid or part-paid fire department or

force. The provisions of this section are subject to chapter 98 of the laws of 1944 ( C. 38:23A-2 ), relating to maximum age limits for persons serving in the armed forces of the United

States as therein provided. 1
