 RULE VII. 
 
 Examinations 
 
 1. All examinations shall be practical in 
 their character, and shall relate to those mat- 
 ters which shall fairly test the intelligence, 
 competency, suitability and character of the 
 applicants to discharge the duties of the serv- 
 ice for which they seek to be appointed. 
 
 2. In all examinations for appointment and 
 promotion in the classified civil service, merit 
 and fitness shall be determined by and upon 
 competitive examinations as herein provided. 
 Upon all such examinations, no rating higher 
 than one hundred per centum shall be given 
 to any person. The passing grade shall be 
 eighty per centum. 
 
 3. The commission shall prepare lists of 
 preliminary requirements and subjects of ex- 
 amination for the several positions in the 
 classified civil service and under its direction 
 and subject to its approval the chief examiner 
 or commission from time to time, shall pre- 
 pare such examination for the positions afore- 
 said as shall be pertinent to them. 
 
 4. The actual conduct of every examina- 
 tion shall be under the direction of the com- 
 mission, free from the interference or partici- 
 pation or influence of the appointing officer or 
 of any person other than the examiners or 
 experts acting by authority of the commission. 
 
 21 
 
No person employed in the Police or Fire De- 
 partment shall be employed as an expert on the 
 examination for such eligible list. The com- 
 mission shall in the examinations give such re- 
 lative importance to the different subjects or 
 matters of examination, whether mental or 
 physical, or to experience, occupation or train- 
 ing as it deems fit. 
 
 At or before the commencement of every ex- 
 amination the weight to be given every sub- 
 ject included in the examination and the gen- 
 eral or average minimum and the maximum, if 
 any allowable, upon each subject shall be an- 
 nounced to the applicants. 
 
 5. The commission may direct oral examina- 
 tions or special practical tests of fitness for the 
 particular positions in the classified civil 
 service. 
 
 6. Regular examinations shall be held on 
 the second Monday in July and January of 
 each year and at such other times as the service 
 may require. Whenever any special examina- 
 tion is held the commission will notify all ap- 
 plicants, whose applications have been filed, to 
 appear for examination and giving at least five 
 days' notice. The place, date and hour of the 
 examination, whether special or regular, must 
 be posted on a bulletin board at the Fire Sta- 
 tion, Police Station and City Hall at least fif- 
 teen days prior to the date of examination. 
 
 7. Applicants for appointment are subject 
 to physical, mental and efficiency examinations 
 in the order named. The mental examinations 
 of applicants who successfully pass, the physi- 
 
 22 
 
cal examination shall be held after such physi- 
 cal examination is completed. Persons failing 
 in the physical examination will not be eligible 
 for mental examination. 
 
 8. The physical examination will be made 
 by the physician or surgeon designated by the 
 commission and must sJiow that applicant is 
 of sound health and physically able to per- 
 form the duties of the position to which he 
 seeks to be appointed. The applicant must 
 make a passing grade of eighty per cent be- 
 fore he will be permitted to take the other 
 examinations. 
 
 9. The results of the physical examination 
 will be expressed as follows: Superior 90%, 
 superior to good, 87.5%; good, 85%; good to 
 fair, 82.5%; fair, 80%; fair to poor, 77.5%; 
 poor, 75%, or below. 
 
 10. It shall be the duty of the commission 
 or chief examiner to conduct the mental ex- 
 amination of those applicants who pass the 
 physical examination. He shall make the men- 
 tal examination a test to determine solely 
 whether the applicant is careful, intelligent and 
 possessed of common sense. The applicants 
 shall be graded in the mental examination on 
 a scale of 100 with a passing grade of 80. 
 
 Safeguard for Examination 
 
 11. Upon reporting for mental examination 
 each applicant will receive a numbered identi- 
 fication card. He will write his name on the 
 body of the card and detach the perforated end 
 which bears the same number on the card. The 
 
 23 
 
end will be retained by the applicant who will 
 use the number instead of his name on all 
 examination papers. He will deposit the card 
 bearing his name in a sealed box which will 
 not be opened until all the papers have been 
 rated. Before the commencement of the ex- 
 amination the weight to be given each sub- 
 ject, the minimum percentage necessary for a 
 passing mark and the time allowed for the 
 completion of the examination upon each sub- 
 ject will be announced.

 RULE VIII. 
 
 Eligible List 
 
 1. Every applicant who receives a general 
 average marking of not less than 80 per cent, 
 and who has received not less than 70 per cent 
 in any required subject, shall be eligible for 
 certification and appointment in the manner, 
 and under the conditions hereinafter prescribed. 
 The eligible list shall be established by the 
 commission. 
 
 The secretary, as early as practicable after 
 the completion of an examination, shall notify 
 each applicant there in of the rating he has 
 received, and if such rating be above the re- 
 quired minimum, of his comparative standing, 
 he shall likewise notify any applicant who, 
 though admitted to the examination, has been 
 
 28 
 
rejected for reasons other than failure to re- 
 ceive the required minimum, stating such 
 reasons specifically. Any applicant receiving 
 any such notice may personally inspect his ex- 
 amination papers, at any time, during the office 
 hours of the commission, and in the presence 
 of the secretary. 
 
 2. As soon as practicable after examina- 
 tion, the secretary shall enter the names of 
 the persons passing in the order of their aver- 
 age rating, on the proper list of eligibles, 
 provided that the names of veterans of the 
 world war so passing shall be entered, in the 
 order of rating at the head of such list. The 
 date of the establishment of a list shall be 
 the date of such entry. 
 
 3. When two or more eligibles on a register 
 have the same average percentage, preference 
 in certification shall be determined by the 
 order in which their applications were filed, 
 but neither priority in the date of applica- 
 tion nor of examination shall give any other 
 advantage in the positions of the eligibles. 
 
 4. The commission may prescribe the char- 
 acter of the distinct eligible list, designating 
 the positions that may be filled by certifica- 
 tion from each of such lists. 
 
 5. All persons who have been on the eligi- 
 ble list for two years without appointment 
 shall be removed therefrom and can only be 
 returned thereto upon regular examination. 
 Such persons sJiall be notified by mail by the 
 secretary at least fifteen days before their 
 names are removed from such eligible list 
 
 29 
 
of the fact of such removal and shall be given 
 the date and place of the next examination 
 to be held. ' 
 
 6. Where an examination for any grade 
 is had before the eligible list for that grade 
 is exhausted, a new list shall be prepared 
 after such examination. The persons, upon the 
 former eligible list who have not been ex- 
 amined for the new eligible list shall be re- 
 spectively placed upon the new eligible list in 
 the position to which the percentage of their 
 aggregate marking upon their former examina- 
 tions would entitle them if such marking had 
 instead been given them upon the new ex- 
 amination, and shall continue thereon until 
 the end of their term of eligibility. 
 
 The commission shall have power in its dis- 
 cretion and whenever in its judgment the in- 
 terest of the public service requires, to order 
 a re-examination of applicants for any position 
 and shall have power to correct any error and 
 amend or revoke any schedule, list or other 
 paper or record where it appears that any 
 error or injustice has been done; or where 
 any person whose name appears on an eligi- 
 ble list has for any reason become incapacitated 
 for appointment to the public service, to strike 
 such name from such list. 
 
 RUIiE IX. 
 
 * Appointments 
 
 1. Whenever a position in the classified 
 civil service is to be filled the commission 
 
 30 
 
shall upon request of the appointing officer, 
 certify to such appointing officer, the names 
 of three times the number of persons neces- 
 sary to fill such position. The commission 
 shall always certify the persons having the 
 highest standing on the eligible list for the 
 position to be filled, provided, that a less num- 
 ber may be certified when there is not the 
 required number on the certified list. All 
 persons not appointed shall be restored to their 
 respective positions on the eligible list. When 
 an eligible certified for appointment shall fail 
 to accept the offer of appointment by mail 
 within six business days next succeeding the 
 date of mailing, of notice of appointment to 
 him addressed to his place of residence as 
 found upon his application blank or any 
 amendment thereof, he shall be deemed to 
 have declined the appointment and upon proper 
 notice of such fact from the appointing officer, 
 the commission shall certify from the eligible 
 list additional names to replace the names of 
 persons so declined. Whenever an eligible has 
 been appointed and declines to accept the ap- 
 pointment he shall not be reinstated upon the 
 eligible list unless his reason for declining 
 such appointment shall be considered satis- 
 factory by the commission and his name re- 
 instated by order of the commission.. 
 
 2. A person having been appointed must 
 accept his appointment and report for duty 
 within ten days after notice of appointment, 
 unless such time is extended by the appointing 
 office. 
 
 31 
 
3. In case of emergency or for the purpose 
 of doing special work required, the appoint- 
 ing officer may by and with the consent of 
 the Board of Commissioners employ any person 
 for temporary work without making such ap- 
 pointment from the certified list, but such 
 appointment of any person shall not be for a 
 period longer than one month in the same 
 calendar year and no such temporary employe 
 shall be appointed to a permanent position 
 in 'the classified civil service unless he shall 
 have been duly certified by the commission 
 to the appointing officer. 
 
 4. All appointments made to positions in 
 the classified civil service shall be for a pro- 
 bation period of three months, during which 
 time it shall be necessary for the appointee 
 to pursue such courses of study or of training 
 as may be prescribed in order to fit him for 
 the place to which he is appointed. If at or 
 before the end of such period of probation 
 any such appointee, where appointment is made 
 as Firemen or Policemen, shall be found in- 
 competent or disqualified for the duties of the 
 position he is filling, the appointing officer 
 may discharge him and certify the same and 
 the reason for such discharge in writing to 
 the commission, after a hearing, if, in the 
 opinion of the commission, such probationer 
 has been dismissed for insufficient cause he 
 shall be restored to his position. All appoint- 
 ments made by promotion within the classified 
 civil service shall be on probation for a period 
 of three months and if any such probationer 
 upon a fair trial or before the expiration of 
 
 32 
 
said period shall be found incompetent or 
 disqualified for the performance of the duties 
 of the position he is filling, the appointing offi- 
 cer may vacate such appointment and restore 
 such person to the rank he was filling before 
 promotion. The appointing officer must, how- 
 ever, certify the name and the reason for 
 such action in writing to the commission and 
 if after a hearing, in the opinion of the com- 
 mission such probationer has been demoted for 
 insufficient cause he may be restored to his 
 position,

 Promotions 
 
 1. The chief of police shall have power to 
 temporarily assign patrolmen or other officer 
 to the different classes of work within the de- 
 partment, that is, he may as,sign patrolmen or 
 other officer to serve in the various 
 grades of service on the detective de- 
 partment or as jailers, motorcyclemen, mount- 
 ed policemen and to such other work as the 
 good of the service may require and may 
 change such assignment whenever in his opin- 
 ion the good of the service shall so require. 
 Promotions, except as otherwise provided, in 
 the grades of patrolmen or other officer shall 
 be upon ascertained merit determined by com- 
 petitive examinations. 
 
 2. The chief of Fire Department shall have 
 power to temporarily assign firemen to the 
 different classes of work and station in the 
 Fire Department, that is, he may assign fire- 
 men to serve at any station over which he 
 
 33 
 
has control, and may assign his men to work 
 as mechanics, drivers, inspectors and deputy 
 fire marshals and to make re-assignments 
 whenever in his opinion, the good of the serv- 
 ice so requires. 
 
 3. The departments are hereby required to 
 establish and maintain efficiency records for 
 each classified employe, on a form prescribed 
 by the Civil Service Commission, showing (a) 
 quantity of work performed, (b) quality of 
 work performed, (c) his aptitude and capacity 
 for initiative, (d) his punctuality and attend- 
 ance, (e) his character and habits, as far as 
 they affect his efficiency or trustworthiness. 
 At such times and on such forms as the Civil 
 Service Commission may prescribe, the proper 
 officer shall certify and transmit to the Civil 
 Service Commission a transcript or summary 
 of such efficiency record. Said report shall 
 be open to the inspection of the classified em- 
 ploye under proper supervision. 
 
 4. A certain uniform and Impartial system 
 of marking and rating all employes is designed 
 to fix their relative essential qualifications. 
 Those are: Intelligence, executive ability, obedi- 
 ence and promptitude, deportment, neatness in 
 appearance and dress, attentiveness to duty, 
 meritorious service, courage and general effi- 
 ciency. To encourage efficiency and to insure 
 promotions based upon merit, the system of 
 marking will take these qualifications into 
 consideration and will provide for marks of 
 merit to be given to those whose work shows 
 that they possess these qualifications and have, 
 
 34 
 
in addition thereto, shown such degree of effi- 
 ciency as to call for commendation. Demerits 
 will be given as hereinafter provided. 
 
 5. To provide a basis, each patrolman or 
 other officers in the service at the time of the 
 adoption of the efficiency system is given an 
 initial rating. Those in class one are given 
 a rating of 850 points^ Those in class two are 
 given a rating of 800 points. Each probationary 
 patrolman in the service is given, and each one 
 hereafter appointed will be given, an initial 
 rating of 750 points. 
 
 6. Irrospective of grade, marks of merit 
 will be given to patrolmen, probationary patrol- 
 men or other officer for each of the following 
 acts and things, at the value set opposite each 
 subject. 
 
 (1) For making an especially good arrest, 
 5 to 25 points. 
 
 (2) For displaying great bravery, 25 points. 
 
 (3) For exceptionally skillful performance 
 of police duty, 5 to 15 points. 
 
 (4) For each year of complete service up to 
 and including the twentieth year, 2 points. 
 
 The points for subjects 1, 2 and 3 will be 
 allowed only when approved by the chief of 
 police, and by the commission. In no case shall 
 merits in excess of 25 points be awarded for 
 single arrest. In case of arrest where one or 
 more members of the force display great brav- 
 ery 25 additional points may be granted to 
 each one participating or any part thereof, in 
 the discretion of the commission. 
 
 35 
 
The appointing officers are cautioned not 
 to make recommendations for merit marks ex- 
 cept in cases for service that stand out dis- 
 tinctly as out of the ordinary routine of police 
 duty. Members of the force are not to be rated 
 in excess of 100 points. When this maximum 
 is reached further merits will not be granted. 
 
 7. Irrespective of grade, marks of demerits 
 will be charged against sergeants, detectives, 
 patrolmen and probationary patrolmen, upon 
 action taken by the commission, after trial upon 
 charges, as follows: 
 
 (1) For reprimand ordered, 10 to 50 points. 
 
 (2) For caution ordered, 5 to 25 points. 
 
 (3) For fine imposed, for each $1.00 of 
 fine, 1 point.

 and ordered by the commission, for breaches of 
 discipline not sufficiently grave to warrant pre- 
 ferring charges, as follows: 
 
 (1) For untruthfulness, 15 points. 
 
 (2) For using intoxicating liquors resulting 
 in caution by superior officers, 15 points. 
 
 (3) For undue familiarity with persons of

 written recommendation of the chief of his 
 department for his re-employment. 
 
 3. Any citizen may make complaint in writ- 
 ing to the commission of any violation of duty 
 by any member of the Fire or Police depart- 
 ments, whereupon the commission may, in its 
 discretion, investigate such complaint, and may 
 require such citizen to appear in person at a 
 hearing to be conducted by it of the person 
 accused. 
 
 Upon such hearing the commission shall de- 
 termine whether the charges in such complaint 
 have been sustained, and may recommend to 
 the chief of the proper department such pun- 
 ishment by discharge, suspension or otherwise, 
 as in its judgment may be deemed proper 
 under the circumstances.

 instated into the position from which he was 
 discharged. 
 
 At any such hearing, the commission may
