 the duties of a position classified as provided in the foregoing 
 sections of this rule are changed so that they differ substan- 
 tially from the duties prescribed when such office or place 
 was originally classified and from the duties of other positions 
 in the grade with it as so classified, such change of duties 
 shall operate to abolish such position and to create a new 
 position, and the Commission shall classify such position in 
 
 20 
 
accordance with section 15 of this rule, and fill the same by

 vided and specified by groups and schedules. Where grades

 pensation. Advancement shall be from group to group within

 that service by actual employment in the group from which 
 advancement is made shall cover at least the period specified 
 in the schedules established under this rule. 
 
 Sec. 14. Titles in the classified service shall be as nearly 
 as possible descriptive of the general duties attached thereto 
 and indicative of the grade, and shall be the same for all 
 positions requiring the same kind of service, regardless of lo- 
 cation of employment. Titles so prescribed shall not be 
 changed except by order of the Commission upon a statement 
 in writing from the department head setting forth the reasons 
 why such changes should be made. Such titles shall be used 
 to designate the position in all the reports to and records of 
 the Commission, and on all pay rolls or accounts submitted to 
 the Commission for certification. 
 
 Section 15. Whenever any new position is created, report 
 of such action shall be made immediately to the Commission 
 by the department head, setting forth a statement of the gen- 
 eral duties and other matters affecting the character and grade 
 of such position. Upon receipt of such report the Commission 
 shall promptly investigate and determine whether such po- 
 sition is, in fact, new and has been created properly. No 
 position shall be considered new unless the duties thereof are 
 found by the Commission to be substantially different from 
 those of every other existing position in the classified service. 
 When the Commission finds the position to be, in fact, new and 
 properly created, it shall, by a motion to amend the regula- 
 tions, specify the class and grade in which such position shall 
 be placed. 
 
 Sec. 16. No officer or employee holding any office or posi- 
 tion in the city service on January 1, 1914, the name or title 
 of which has been changed by the classification of positions 
 made in accordance with sections 3 to 11, inclusive, of this 
 rule, shall by reason of such change in name or title be re- 
 quired to take an examination for such office or position, but 
 he shall continue to perform the duties of such office or posi- 
 tion the same as though the title thereof had not been changed.

 from the date of their declaration, but the Commission may 
 continue any eligible list in force for a second year, or for a 
 shorter or a longer period. 
 
 Sec. 6. When an applicant has been appointed to a posi- 
 tion in the classified service, such appointment shall be entered 
 upon the eligible list from which he was certified. 
 
 Sec. 7. An applicant registered in any eligible list whose 
 appointment is rejected by the appointing officer for reasons 
 reported to the Commission may be retained on such list unless 
 he or she is thus rejected three times. Such repeated rejec- 
 tion shall be sufficient cause for removing the name of such 
 person from the eligible list, except at the written request of 
 the appointing officer to whom certification is made. Certifica- 
 tion for temporary appointment shall not count as one of such 
 certifications. 
 
 Sec. 8. Failure of an appointing officer to appoint a per- 
 son whose name is certified to him shall not count as a rejec- 
 tion unless that name ranked higher on the eligible list than 
 the name of the person actually appointed, and unless the rea- 
 son for not appointing in numerical order is sustained by the 
 Commission. 
 
 RULE VIII. 
 
 Requisitions, Certifications and Appointments. 
 
 Section 1. Selections for appointment to all positions in 
 the competitive class and the special expert class not filled by 
 promotion, reduction, transfer or reinstatement shall, except 
 as provided in Rule IX, be made in the following manner: 
 
 The appointing officer shall notify the Commission of the 
 title of the position, duties to be performed and the compensa- 
 tion to be paid. The Commission shall thereupon certify to 
 such appointing officer from the list most nearly appropriate to 
 such position the three names at the head thereof, provided 
 that no such names shall be certified more than three times to 
 the same appointing officer for the same or a similar position, 
 unless at such officer’s request. The appointing officer shall 
 make selection with reference solely to merit and fitness from 
 the three names certified, unless objection is made and sus- 
 tained by the Commission to one or more of the persons 
 named, in which case the Commission shall certify in addition 
 the name next following upon the eligible list. If there be 
 more than one vacancy to be filled, the number of names to be 
 
 26 
 
certified shall be arrived at by multiplying the number of 
 vacancies by five-thirds and counting each additional third as 
 one and adding it. 
 
 Sec. 2. The failure of an eligible person to respond within 
 four days to an offer of appointment sent to his postoffice ad- 
 dress as last shown on the records of the Commission shall be 
 considered declination. 
 
 On notice from an appointing officer that a person named 
 in a certification has declined appointment and on receipt from 
 such officer of such declination in writing or of evidence of the 
 failure of such person to respond to a notice properly sent, 
 such certification shall be completed by the addition of the 
 name of the eligible next in order. 
 
 RULE IX. 
 
 Temporary and Provisional Appointments. 
 
 Section 1. When services are to be rendered of a tem- 
 porary character and for a limited period, the appointing offi- 
 cer shall inform the Commission, stating the duration of such 
 period, the rate of compensation, the authority for employing 
 such temporary service, and other conditions of employment, 
 and may select for such employment one of the first three per- 
 sons on the appropriate eligible list who, after the notice of 
 the conditions, are willing to accept certification therefor. In 
 case of acceptance of appointment for temporary services, the 
 eligible so appointed shall retain all rights to certification for 
 permanent appointment as though no temporary appointment 
 had been given. 
 
 Sec. 2. Upon the expiration of any eligible list, the names 
 of those persons who, at the time such list expires, are render- 
 ing temporary service shall be transferred from the expiring 
 list and placed in the order of original rating on the list most 
 nearly corresponding to the list from which transfer is made. 
 
 Sec. 3. Any person who is certified to a temporary posi- 
 tion in the same manner as certifications are made to per- 
 manent positions, in accordance with Section 1 of Rule VIII, 
 and is performing the duties of that position when it is made 
 a permanent position shall be eligible to appointment to that 
 permanent position. 
 
 Sec. 4. Any employee who has been certified in accordance 
 with Section 1 of this rule, and whose services have been 
 terminated, shall give immediate notice to the Commission of 
 the termination of his employment, and it shall be the duty of 
 the department head or employing body to make a like report 
 to the Commission as provided in Rule XV. 
 
 Sec. 5. Where there is a vacancy of an emergency char- 
 acter in a position in the competitive class and it is not prac- 
 ticable to secure a person by certification from an eligible list 
 in time to meet such emergency, an appointment may be made 
 without certification or examination, subject to the subsequent 
 approval of the Commission, for a period not exceeding thirty 
 days, or until an appropriate eligible list is established. 
 
 27 
 
RULE X. 
 
 Suspension, Leave of Absence and Reinstatement. 
 
 Section 1. Whenever any permanent position in the com- 
 petitive class is abolished or made unnecessary, or whenever 
 the number of positions of a certain character is reduced, the 
 person or persons legally holding such positions shall be 
 deemed to be suspended without pay and the names of such 
 persons shall, on due notice from the appointing officer, be 
 placed by the Commission on a reinstatement list, in the order 
 of seniority of appointment, under such title and correspond- 
 ing to such competitive eligible list as in the judgment of the 
 Commission most nearly cover the class of duties performed 
 by such persons in the positions from which suspension is 
 made. The person so certified who declines to accept, except 
 for one of the reasons and under the conditions stated in Sec- 
 tion 2 of Rule VIII, shall be permanently separated from the 
 service. A reinstatement list shall have preference over the 
 original eligible list. 
 
 Sec. 2. Any employee who is suspended from the service 
 under the conditions cited in the preceding section shall im- 
 mediately give notice to the Commission of such suspension 
 and state the reasons therefor, and a like report shall be made 
 to the Commission by the department head or employing body, 
 as provided in Rule XV. 
 
 Sec. 3. The names of suspended employees shall be strick- 
 en from the reinstatement list at the expiration of one year 
 from the date of suspension, unless such employees shall in 
 writing before the expiration of said year notify the Commis- 
 sion that they wish to remain on such list. Failure to so notify 
 the Commission shall be construed as a resignation. 
 
 Sec. 4. Leave of absence from duty shall in no case be 
 granted to an officer or employee who has been in the service 
 of the city for less than three months immediately preceding 
 his time of leave, except in case of absence on account of sick- 
 ness, disability or urgent necessity in which case application 
 for leave shall be accompanied by such proof of same as the 
 Commission may require, and said leave shall be granted only 
 upon the approval of the Commission. 
 
 The head of a department may grant leave of absence from 
 regular duty for a period not exceeding three months to an 
 officer or employee who has been in the service of the city for 
 more than three months, upon written application made to him 
 by said subordinate officer or employee within his department, 
 only with the approval of the Commission. In no case shall a 
 leave of absence be granted for a period to exceed one year, 
 except that where an employee in the classified service is 
 granted leave of absence for the purpose of accepting appoint- 
 ment in the unclassified service, such leave may be extended 
 from year to year so long as such appointment in the unclassi- 
 fied service remains in force. 
 
 Sec. 5. Absence from duty without leave, or failure to 
 report after a leave has expired or has been disapproved or re- 
 
 28 
 
yoked and cancelled by the Commission, shall be cause for dis- 
 charge; provided, however, that if the officer or employee so 
 discharged shows to the satisfaction of the Commission that 
 such absence or failure to report was excusable, the Commis- 
 sion may then order his reinstatement. 
 
 Sec. 6. Upon the expiration of a leave of absence, an offi- 
 cer or employe shall be reinstated in his position; provided, 
 however, that if such absence with leave exceeds thirty days, 
 or, in the case of injury in the service, sickness or other dis- 
 ability, ninety days, and the position in the meantime has been 
 filled by certification, the name of such officer or employe shall 
 be placed by the Commission on a reinstatement list and certi- 
 fied therefrom in accordance with Section 1 of this rule. 
 
 RULE XI. 
 
 Transfer. 
 
 Section 1. Transfers may be made as follows: 
 
 (a) For a period not exceeding thirty days, from one 
 position to a similar position of the same class, grade and char- 
 acter of work, and having the same pay, within a department, 
 without notice to the Commission. 
 
 (b) From a position in one department to a similar posi- 
 tion of the same class, in another department, provided the 
 heads of the two departments concerned make request there- 
 for. 
 
 (c) Where an employe becomes physically incapacitated 
 for the performance of his duties, the head of the department 
 may, at the request of such employe transfer him to a position 
 in a lower grade which he has the ability to fill. 
 
 Sec. 2. • All transfers except as provided in paragraph (a) 
 of Section 1, shall be subject to approval by the Commission. 
 
 Sec. 3. Transfer shall not be allowed where the examina- 
 tion upon which the appointment of an employe was based 
 was not of a character and standard to test the fitness of such 
 employe for the position to which it is proposed to make the 
 transfer. 
 
 RULE XII. 
 
 Efficiency. 
 
 Section 1. The Commission shall take all necessary meas- 
 ures to ascertain the efficiency of persons employed in the city 
 service. 
 
 Sec. 2. The Commission shall from time to time prescribe 
 in its regulations subjects or factors for ascertaining in- 
 dividual efficiency. Such subjects or factors shall be uniform 
 for all positions having similar duties and responsibilities. 
 
 29 
 
RULE XIII. 
 
 Promotion. 
 
 Section 1. Whenever a vacancy in the classified service 
 exists, unless such vacancy is filled by reinstatement or trans- 
 fer, it shall be filled by promotion from the next lower rank or 
 grade, when such rank or grade contains two or more eligible 
 persons desirous of taking examination. Promotion shall be 
 accomplished by means of a competitive examination. Should 
 not more than one eligible candidate register, or should all 
 candidates fail to pass, an original examination shall be held. 
 
 Sec. 2. No person shall be eligible for promotion from a 
 position in any grade unless the position in which he is em- 
 ployed at the time of examination is in the same line and 
 character of work as the position to be filled, and unless such 
 person has served in such grade by actual employment for at 
 least six months, unless otherwise prescribed by these rules, 
 and is at the time of examination actually employed in such 
 grade, or is on leave of absence, or is eligible for reinstate- 
 ment. 
 
 Sec. 3. Notice of promotion examination shall be pub- 
 lished and shall be posted in the olfice of the Commission, as 
 well as in the department or bureau in which the promotion 
 may be made, for two weeks prior to such examination. Such 
 notice shall give date and character of the examination, and 
 shall indicate the grade or rank of those eligible thereto. Ap- 
 plicants for promotion examination shall register in the office 
 of the Commission at least three whole days before the date 
 fixed for the examination. 
 
 Sec. 4. The weight given to seniority in a promotion ex- 
 amination shall in no case exceed one-tenth of the total 
 weights of all subjects. Credit shall be given only for actual 
 service in the grade or rank from which promotion is sought, 
 whether such service has been continuous or not, except that 
 whenever an employee takes a promotion examination for the 
 purpose of obtaining legal standing under new grading 
 schedules and is certified from the list resulting from such 
 examination, his seniority shall be figured from the date of 
 original certification to the position which he filled previous to 
 taking the regrading promotion examination. The marking to 
 be entered for seniority shall be obtained by adding to a mark- 
 
 ing of 75, as follows: 
 
 Each full year of the first 3 years of 
 
 service 3 
 
 Each full year of the next 6 years of 
 
 service IV 2 
 
 Each additional year of service (maxi- 
 mum 14 years) % 
 
 Sec. 5. The weight given to efficiency in any promotion 
 examination shall in no case exceed two-tenths of the total 
 weights. The marking to be entered for efficiency shall be 
 obtained by averaging ail monthly general efficiency ratings 
 for the six months immediately preceding the Examination. 
 
 30 
 
Where no efficiency records exist covering the period the Com- 
 mission shall investigate and enter such marking as it shall 
 deem proper. The Commission may revise upward or down- 
 ward the average efficiency markings of all employees in any 
 department participating in such promotion examination, but 
 such revision shall be on a pro rata basis, except that no em- 
 ployee thereby shall be given a final efficiency average of more 
 than 85 or less than 70. 
 
 Sec. 6. Under the subject termed “duties” in any promo- 
 tion examination, the candidate shall be examined in such mat- 
 ters as will fairly test his knowledge of the actual duties, 
 responsibilities and requirements of the position to be filled, 
 and his fitness and qualifications to discharge such duties and 
 meet such requirements. Where a physical test is not included 
 in the schedules for promotion examinations, such test may be 
 added as a subject, and the weight thereof shall be fixed by the 
 Commission prior to the promotion examination. In examina- 
 tions for positions in Class K, Skilled Labor Service, candi- 
 dates may be examined as to their knowledge of a trade, craft 
 or useful art, by practical test. The weight of such practical 
 test shall be fixed by the Commission prior to the examination, 
 provided that such weight shall be deducted from the weights 
 given to the subject termed “duties” in such examination. 
 
 Sec. 7. Eligible lists resulting from promotion examina- 
 tions shall remain in force and effect for one year from the 
 date of the posting unless the Commission, by order in its 
 minutes entered prior to its expiration, extend the life of such 
 list, but no such extension shall be held to continue any such 
 promotion list in existence beyond two years of the posting of 
 the same. 
 
 Sec. 8. Eligible lists resulting from examinations held 
 under the foregoing section shall in all respects have the 
 same standing and be subject to the same restrictions as other 
 original eligible lists. 
 
 RULE XIV. 
 
 Advancement on Efficiency and Seniority. 
 
 Section 1. Where the limits of compensation for each 
 office or place of employment in a single class and grade of 
 service are prescribed, such compensation limits shall be pro- 
 vided and specified by groups. Appointment to an office or 
 place in such grade, from either original or promotion regis- 
 ters, to any one department, shall in every case be made to the 
 lowest compensation or salary group, except as hereinafter 
 provided in this section. Advancement shall be made from 
 group to group within a grade, and shall be made on the basis 
 of efficiency and seniority in the position within departments, 
 as shown by the records thereof kept in the office of the Civil 
 Service Commission, and in accordance with the schedules 
 established under Rule III. 
 
 Where the condition of employment in a given office or 
 place of employment is of such a character as to make ad- 
 vancement from group to group on the basis of efficiency and 
 
 31 
 
seniority impracticable, and the Commission so rules by an 
 order in its minutes, the compensation for the performance of 
 the duties of such office or place of employment shall be at 
 such uniform salary rate as shall be fixed after investigation, 
 which rate shall be set forth in the minutes of the Commission. 
 
 Sec. 2. No person shall be eligible for advancement from 
 a lower group to a higher group within a grade unless he has 
 served in such lower group by actual employment for at least 
 the period specified in the schedules provided in accordance 
 with the classes and grades set forth in Rule III. Advance- 
 ment of officers or employees from group to group within a 
 grade shall be based upon efficiency and seniority. Unless 
 otherwise prescribed by these rules, the total weight assigned 
 to efficiency and seniority in advancement shall not exceed 
 three; the weight given to seniority in advancement shall be 
 one-third of the total weight, and the weight given to efficiency 
 in advancement shall be two-thirds of the total weight. The 
 method of ascertaining markings for efficiency and seniority 
 for advancement shall be the same as provided for obtaining 
 markings of efficiency and seniority in promotion. 
 
 RULE XV. 
 
 Reports. 
 
 Section 1. The appointing officer or head of a department 
 shall immediately report to the Commission: 
 
 (a) Appointments, whether emergency, temporary, pro- 
 bationary, permanent or promotional. 
 
 (b) Refusal or neglect to accept appointment by a person 
 who has been certified. 
 
 (c) Changes in the compensation of ranks or grades, or 
 of officers or employees serving under him. 
 
 (d) Suspension or reinstatement made by him of any 
 officer or employee. 
 
 (e) Transfers in his department as provided in Rule XI. 
 
 (f) Every vacancy, resignation or separation from the 
 service under him, and its cause. 
 
 (g) The creation or abolition of any office or place of 
 employment in his department.

 must be signed by the department head. 
 
 RULE XVI. 
 
 Common Labor Service. 
 
 Section 1. The Commission shall maintain lists of persons 
 eligible to employment in the Common Labor Service, and 
 where the duties of the positions require, may establish separ- 
 
ate eligible lists for departments or bureaus or divisions 
 therein, or for wards. 
 
 Sec. 2. Applications shall conform to the requirements of 
 Rule IV. The names of the candidates who pass examinations 
 for positions in the Common Labor Service, unless otherwise 
 disqualified, shall be placed on eligible registers, according to 
 priority of application. 
 
 Sec. 3. Examination of candidates for positions in divi- 
 sion (b) of the Common Labor Class may be competitive 
 where the Commission, after investigation of the duties of such 
 positions, finds that such competitive examination is practi- 
 cable and enters in its minutes an order to that effect in ad- 
 vance of such competitive examination. In such cases appro- 
 priate eligible registers shall be kept as in other cases where 
 competitive examinations are held. Certifications and appoint- 
 ments from such lists shall be made in the manner provided 
 in Rule VIII. The Commission may give physical examinations 
 to applicants for positions in the Labor Service. 
 
 Sec. 4. In case of an emergency where it is not practi- 
 cable to secure laborers from an eligible list with sufficient 
 promptness, or where a list is temporarily exhausted, the ap- 
 pointing officer may hire and employ for a period not exceed- 
 ing thirty days as many , persons as may be required, but he 
 shall in such case report his action, with full particulars 
 thereof, to the Commission, and such action shall be subject 
 to the Commission’s subsequent approval. In no case shall 
 such emergency appointments exceed a period of two months. 
 
 Sec. 5. In case it is impossible to secure a sufficient num- 
 ber of applicants who are citizens of the United States, the 
 Commission may, by an order recorded in the minutes, waive 
 the citizenship requirement and establish separate lists for 
 non-citizens from which certification shall be made only after 
 the regular eligible lists have been exhausted. Whenever a 
 reduction of force is necessary, persons certified from the lists 
 for non-citizens shall in all cases be laid off first, and shall not 
 be placed upon a reinstatement list. 
 
 Sec. 6. It shall be the duty of an appointing officer to 
 submit in such manner as the Commission may prescribe a re- 
 port of appointments in the Common Labor Class, and upon 
 the termination of an employment he shall in each case certify 
 to the Commission the reasons therefore. Where such term- 
 ination is due to a reduction of force, the name of the person 
 affected shall be placed upon a permanent reinstatement list in 
 the manner prescribed by Section 1 of Rule X. Whenever there 
 are a large number of names on the eligible lists and a surplus 
 of labor exists, the laborers qualified under these rules for 
 positions in the city service shall, so far as practicable, be em- 
 ployed in relays. A person employed in a labor position under 
 these rules who, after three months’ service in such position, 
 left it voluntarily and without fault or delinquency on his part, 
 may be reemployed in the same position within one year of the 
 date of his separation without further examination or registra- 
 tion, if there be no persons eligible for reinstatement upon a 
 permanent reinstatement list for such position. 
 
 Sec. 7. No person employed in a labor position whose 
 
 33 
 
employment is terminated for the reason of failure to work, 
 incompetence, or physical or moral unfitness, shall be eligible 
 for re-registration for a period of six months from the date of 
 such termination, and then only upon furnishing to the Com- 
 mission a satisfactory explanation of his failure to work, or 
 satisfactory evidence that such other disqualification no longer 
 exists. 
 
 Sec. 8. A person who has served in a department or in- 
 stitution for one year in a position in division (a) or division 
 (b) of the Common Labor Class may be transferred to. any 
 other position in division (a) of the Common Labor Class # for 
 which he may be shown to possess such qualifications in re- 
 spect either to previous experience or to physical fitness as 
 may be required in the case of original appointment to such 
 other position, on the issuance by the Commission of a certi- 
 ficate to such effect for service in such department or institu- 
 tion. Transfers from any position in division (b) of the Com- 
 mon Labor Class shall be made only in the same manner and 
 under the same conditions as transfers in the competitive class 
 as provided by Rule XI.

REGULATION III. 
 
 Record System. 
 
 1. Records of eligibles from the filing of application to 
 termination of service, shall be kept by card system based upon 
 permanent book records, according to the following methods: 
 
 (a) In all cases, except Class I (Labor Service), history 
 
 cards shall be made from each approved applica- 
 tion. They shall contain applicant’s name, ad- 
 dress, date of birth, title of examination, examina- 
 tion number, application number, date of filing 
 and age of applicant, if an age limit is required, 
 and shall be classified by names of positions ap- 
 plied for pending result of examinations. 
 
 (b) Averages obtained by each applicant in the subjects 
 
 of examination, and the general average obtained 
 therefrom, shall be entered in an examination 
 register. From this record general averages shall 
 be entered upon the history cards of successful ap- 
 plicants. An eligible register for official approval, 
 containing names and general averages in all ex- 
 aminations, arranged in order of proficiency, shall 
 be made from the examination register. Cards of 
 applicants who attain a general average of 70 or 
 more shall be filed alphabetically and shall con- 
 stitute an index to eligible lists. Cards of those 
 failing to qualify shall be filed alphabetically in a 
 separate cabinet designated as the dead list. 
 
 (c) Duplicates of the history cards filed in the index to 
 
 eligible lists shall be prepared and arranged in 
 reverse order of merit in the appropriate cabinets 
 of the working list, separated from the cards of 
 those working and those awaiting re-instatement 
 in the same position. Pending certification, all 
 matters affecting an eligible shall be entered upon 
 the history cards in the index to the eligible lists. 
 
 (d) The working list shall consist of cards arranged in 
 
 reverse order as follows: 
 
 (1) Those certified and at work. 
 
 (2) Those certified, but laid off or on leave sub- 
 
 ject to re-instatement. 
 
 (3) Those awaiting certification. 
 
 (e) Upon certification the history card of the appointee 
 
 shall pass to a permanent service record cabinet 
 designated as the civil list and the duplicate placed 
 with those certified and at work as shown by the 
 working list and given its appropriate permanent 
 number. When a list has been cancelled the his- 
 tory cards of eligibles failing certification shall be 
 filed alphabetically in the dead list and the dupli- 
 cates thereof then in the working list destroyed,, 
 
 58 
 
(f) Every change of status of an employee in the serv- 
 
 ice shall be entered upon his card and filed in the 
 civil list. 
 
 (g) The civil list shall contain history cards of all per- 
 
 sons in the exempt or unclassified service, and 
 such cards shall be of a different color from those 
 of persons in the classified service. 
 
 Class I. (Labor Service.) Applications shall be entered 
 in a book in the order of receipt. After the ex- 
 amination, two cards shall be prepared of those 
 who qualify, one for use as an eligible register 
 and the other as an index card, and entries shall 
 also be made in the book register of the result of 
 the examination. All reports affecting eligibles 
 and employees shall be entered on both cards. 
 Working cards shall be retained and shall con- 
 stitute a working list. Cancelled cards shall be 
 destroyed. 
 
 REGULATION IV. 
 
 Waiver of Certification of Reinstatement, 
 
 The Commission may permit eligibles to waive certification 
 or reinstatement in cases where it considers the reasons given 
 for such waiver as good and sufficient, and Where it is desirable 
 to keep the name of the eligible on the register from which the 
 certification was made. If the reasons assigned are not ap- 
 proved by the Commission, then the names of the eligibles so 
 certified or tendered reinstatement shall be removed from the 
 registers from which they were certified. Within thirty days 
 thereafter the names of the persons so removed from the eligi- 
 ble register may be restored, should satisfactory reasons for 
 such action be offered. Waivers must be filed with the Com- 
 mission within four days from date of certification, and, if ap- 
 proved, the name of such eligible shall not be certified until 
 the waiver has been withdrawn. Waivers, whether continuous 
 or otherwise, shall not be permitted for a period of longer than 
 one year. 
 
 REGULATION V. 
 
 Departmental Reports. 
 
 1. The head of department shall in all cases make re- 
 quisition for eligibles before making appointments. In the 
 absence of an appropriate eligible list, or in case of immediate 
 necessity, authority shall be granted for an emergency ap- 
 pointment. The Commission shall not approve any emergency 
 appointment for which the department head did not make 
 requisition and obtain authority in accordance with this regu- 
 lation. 
 
 Procedure As to Pay Roll Certification. 
 
 The following correspondence passed between the City Serv- 
 ice Commission and the City Comptroller; 
 
 54 
 
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER. 
 
 Louis M. Kotecki, Comptroller. 
 
 A. P. Puelicher, Deputy Comptroller. 
 
 March 21, 1914. 
 
 To the Honorable, 
 
 The Board of the City Service Commissioners, 
 
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
 
 Gentlemen: — 
 
 I have given considerable thought for some time to the 
 question of the sufficiency of the present method and the re- 
 sponsibility of the Comptroller’s office in passing and allowing 
 of claims for services of persons certified and employed in 
 offices and places in the City Civil Service, as required in Sec- 
 tions 16 and 17 of the City Civil Service act, and I am satisfied 
 that the present method of certifying to this office of the ap- 
 pointment and of all changes affecting the legality of employ- 
 ment of such offices and employees is not sufficient, and in 
 addition causes considerable duplication of work in the prep- 
 aration of reports by department heads and in checking the 
 pay rolls for changes in the service by this office and by your 
 Board. 
 
 Will your Board kindly take up this question with a view 
 of devising a plan whereby all estimates, pay rolls or accounts 
 of salaries or wages of officers and employees in all the city 
 departments (excepting the Departments of Police and Fire 
 and the Fire and Police Alarm System), can be accurately 
 checked in advance of their payment and certification made to 
 this office as to the legality of employment; this, with a view 
 of more effectively carrying out both the letter and spirit of 
 the sections of the City Civil Service act above referred to and 
 the rules of your Civil Service Board. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 A. P. PUELICHER, 
 
 Deputy City Comptroller. 
 
 March 23, 1914. 
 
 To the Honorable, 
 
 The City Comptroller, 
 
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
 
 Dear Sir: — 
 
 In reply to your communication of the 21st instant, the 
 Board directs me to state that it has also had under considera- 
 tion a plan whereby all estimates, pay rolls or accounts of 
 salaries or wages of officers and employees in all the city de- 
 partments (excepting the Departments of Police and Fire and 
 the Fire and Police Alarm System), may be checked in ad- 
 vance of payment, with a view, 
 
 First, that this Board obtain an accurate check on all

 ployment of all such officers and employees, as required by 
 Sections 16 and 17 of the City Civil Service act and the rules

 persons included in each estimate, pay roll or account have 
 been appointed and are employed in accordance with the City 
 Civil Service law and the rules of this Board, this Board will 
 undertake to promptly check and certify as to the legality of 
 employment of all persons included on such estimates, pay

 “BOARD OF CITY SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Received 
 
 All officers and employees whose names appear 
 upon this pay roll and opposite which the letter ‘L’ is 
 stamped, are holding their positions according to the 
 provisions of the Civil Service act; and those opposite

 In order that this change in the system of checking pay 
 rolls be installed, the Board respectively suggests that the 
 March estimates, pay rolls or accounts for salaries or wages 
 of officers and employees in the above city departments be sent 
 to this office for check and certification, as outlined above, and 
 that you notify the heads of departments to that effect so that 
 they may be ready for the contemplated change.

 Louis M. Kotecki, Comptroller. 
 
 A. P. Puelicher, Deputy Comptroller. 
 
 March 23, 1914. 
 
 To the Honorable, 
 
 The Board of City Service Commissioners, 
 
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
 
 Gentlemen: — 
 
 I am in receipt of your letter of this date in which you 
 suggest a plan whereby all estimates, pay rolls or accounts of 
 salaries or wages of officers and employees in all the city de- 
 partments (excepting the Departments of Police and Fire and 
 the Police and Fire Alarm System), be checked and certified 
 as to legality of employment, in advance of payment, as re- 
 quired under Sections 16 and 17 of the City Civil Service act. 
 
 In reply thereto, will say that I shall accept this plan. I 
 will require all estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or 
 wages to be transmitted to your office by the different depart- 
 ments before they are sent to this office and in advance of pay- 
 ment, to be checked and certified by your office as to legality 
 of employment. I will refuse to pay any estimate, pay roll or 
 account of salaries or wages unless the same is certified by 
 your Board, and shall accept your certification as a strict com- 
 pliance on my part and as relieving me of any further liability 
 or responsibility under the sections of the act above referred 
 to, and of the rules of your Board. 
 
 As you suggest, I have drawn up a letter (copy enclosed), 
 directed to the department heads (excepting those of the De- 
 partments of Police and Fire, and the Police and Fire Alarm 
 System), informing them of this new arrangement, and will 
 require that the estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or 
 wages of these departments for March, 1914, and thereafter, 
 shall be checked and certified as to legality of employment by 
 your office. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 A. P. PUELICHER, 
 
 Deputy City Comptroller. 
 
 March 23, 1914. 
 
 To All Heads of Departments: — 
 
 On and after this date, this office will not accept estimates, 
 pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages of officers and em- 
 ployees in the city service (except those in the Police and Fire 
 Departments and in the Police and Fire Alarm System), or 
 allow claim or payment for such service except where they 
 have been previously checked and certified to by the Board of 
 City Service Commissioners as to legality of employment. This 
 change in system is made in order to comply more strictly with 
 
 57 
 
Sections 16 and 17 of the City Civil Service act as amended 
 by Section 6, Chapter 218, of 1897. 
 
 You will therefore arrange to have all such estimates, pay 
 rolls or accounts sent directly to the office of the Board of City 
 Service Commissioners for such check and certification instead 
 of sending them to this office. The Board will transmit the 
 pay rolls to this office after they have been checked. 
 
 In order to prevent any unnecessary delay in the final 
 allowing and payment of claims, salaries or wages for services 
 by this office, it is suggested that you arrange to have all esti- 
 mates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages delivered to 
 the Civil Service office at least one or two days in advance of 
 the usual time they were heretofore delivered to this office. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 A. P. PUELICHER, 
 
 Deputy City Comptroller. 
 
 BOARD OF CITY SERA ICE COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Milwaukee, March 23, 1914. 
 
 To the Honorable, 
 
 The City Comptroller, 
 
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
 
 Dear Sir: — 
 
 This Board is in receipt of your communication of this 
 date. I am directed to inform you that this office has made its 
 plans accordingly and will be ready to check promptly the 
 March estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages of 
 officers and employees in all the city departments (excepting 
 those in the Departments of Police and Fire and in the Police 
 and Fire Alarm System), and certify same as to legality of 
 employment if they are sent to this office before being submit- 
 ted to your office in advance of payment. 
 
 For your information the Board encloses herewith copy of 
 letter which it has directed be sent to the heads of the above 
 departments explaining the new arrangement. 
 
 BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF CITY SERVICE 
 COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 JOHN J. VLACH, 
 
 Secretary. 
 
 BOARD OF CITY SERA ICE COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Milwaukee, March 23, 1914. 
 
 To All Heads of Departments: — 
 
 As a result of a conference between the office of the City 
 Comptroller and members of this Board, it has been arranged 
 that hereafter all estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries 
 
 58 
 
or wages of officers and employees in all the city departments 
 (excepting those in the Police and Fire departments and in 
 the Police and Fire Alarm System), shall be checked and certi- 
 fied as to legality of employment in this office before same are 
 sent to the Comptroller’s office for audit and in advance of 
 payment. This change is made to enable the Comptroller to 
 obtain a more satisfactory compliance with Sections 16 and 17 
 of the City Civil Service act and the rules of this Board. 
 
 The compliance with this arrangement will enable this 
 Board to obtain an accurate check on all changes affecting em- 
 ployment which will enable it to make a monthly certification 
 to the Comptroller as to the legality of employment of all offi- 
 cers and employees in accordance with the requirements of the 
 above sections of the City Civil Service act and to obtain and 
 maintain a complete and accurate record of all changes affect- 
 ing employment in the city service, which will be used as a 
 basis of civil service administration and employment control. 
 
 In order that the work of checking and certifying the above 
 estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages can be 
 expedited and cause no delay in final payment, it will be neces- 
 sary that department heads report all changes affecting em- 
 ployment in advance of the transmission of the monthly esti- 
 mates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages. New blank 
 forms upon which to make these reports are now ready and 
 will be furnished by this office to each department. These 
 forms will supplement the forms heretofore in use. 
 
 For the sake of accuracy, the Board respectfully suggests 
 that each department designate certain employees who shall 
 handle these Civil Service reports, and so far as possible, all 
 other routine matters pertaining to employment in their re- 
 spective departments or bureaus. 
 
 The estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages of 
 officers and employees whose certification and employment con- 
 form to the records in this office will be forwarded to the 
 Comptroller by the Secretary, bearing the following certifica- 
 tion: 
 
 “BOARD OF CITY SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Received 
 
 All officers and employees Whose names appear upon 
 this pay roll and opposite which the letter “L” is 
 stamped are holding their positions accordingly to the 
 provisions of the Civil Service act; and those opposite 
 which the word ‘Exempt’ is stamped, are by law 
 exempt from the classified service. 
 
 BOARD OF CITY SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Secretary.” 
 
 59 
 
All estimates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages 
 which are not in conformity with the certification and em- 
 ployment records of this office, will be red lined and the pay 
 roll sent to the Comptroller’s office with these items elimi- 
 nated. A notice will also be sent to each department of these 
 items which are eliminated so that same be corrected. A sup- 
 plementary pay roll with corrected items will be received in 
 this office for check, certification and transmission to the 
 Comptroller’s office. 
 
 In order to prevent any unnecessary delay in the final 
 allowing and payment of claims, salaries or wages for services 
 by this office, it is suggested that you arrange to have all esti- 
 mates, pay rolls or accounts of salaries or wages delivered to 
 the Civil Service office at least one or two days in advance of 
 the usual time they were heretofore delivered to the Comptrol- 
 ler’s office. 
 
 This arrangement is to go into effect with the March pay 
 rolls. 
 
 BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF CITY SERVICE 
 COMMISSIONERS. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 JOHN J. VLACH, 
 
 Secretary, Board of City Service Commissioners.

GENERAL INFORMATION TO APPLICANTS. 
 
 1. — This department has no official knowledge of vacancies in 
 
 the various departments and therefore cannot answer 
 questions as to whether there are ‘'openings” in the City 
 service. It is important for the applicant to be on an 
 eligible list when a vacancy occurs, therefore it is ad- 
 visable to take examination and obtain a place on the 
 eligible list. 
 
 2. — Applicants for positions in the City Service of Milwaukee 
 
 must have lived within the city limits of Milwaukee for 
 30 days next preceding the date of examination. 
 
 3. — There are no regular dates set for examination, but regis- 
 
 tration cards may be filed at any time for any position 
 in the City Service. 
 
 4. — One registration card can be filed for one position only, 
 
 but applicants may file as many registration cards for 
 as many different positions as they desire. 
 
 5. — Those who have registration cards on file will be duly noti- 
 
 fied of the time and place of examination for that posi- 
 tion for which the particular registration card calls. 
 
 6. — After receiving notice of the date of examination for the 
 
 position for which the applicant has registered, it is 
 necessary for him to file a regular application on or 
 before the date designated on the card as being the 
 last day for filing applications for that position. Ap- 
 plication blanks can be obtained at the City Service 
 office, City Hall. 
 
 7. — Notices of all examinations and qualifications are posted 
 
 in the Civil Service Bulletin case outside of the main 
 entrances to the City Hall, and the City Service offices 
 at least 15 days before the date of examination. 
 
 8. — Further information can be received at any time by calling 
 
 at the City Service offices, seventh floor, south end of 
 City Hall.
