D. 1895, or the fifteenth day of June in the year next following the first state or national census, showing such city to belong to either said first or said second class, appoint four persons, citizens and residents of said city, who shall constitute and be known as the Board of City Service Commissioners of such city, and shall designate one of the persons so appointed to serve for a term of four years, one for a term of three years, one for a term of two years, and one for a term of one year, from the first Monday of July in the year of their appointment and until their respective successors are appointed and qualified; and in each and every year after such first appointment, the Mayor shall, in like manner, in the month of June, appoint one person as the successor of the Commissioner whose term shall expire in that year, to serve as such Commissioner for four years from the first Monday of July then next ensuing, and until his successor

is appointed and qualified. Three Commissioners shall constitute a quorum necessary for the transaction of business. Any vacancy in the office of Commissioner occurring during the term shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment by the Mayor, and all appointments, both original and to fill vacancies, shall be so made that not more than two Commissioners shall at the time of any appointment be members of the same political party. Said Commissioners shall hold no lucrative. office or employment under the United States, the State of Wisconsin, or any municipal corporation or political division thereof, and each Commissioner shall, before entering upon the discharge [of the duties] of his office, and within ten days after receiving notice of his appointment, take and subscribe the oath of office prescribed by the constitution of this state, and file the same, duly certified by the officer administering it, with the [City] Clerk of his city, and no salary or other compensation for his services shall be paid to any such Commissioner.

SEC. 2. [As amended by Sec. 1, Chap. 218, of 1897.] The said Commissioners shall make rules adapted to carry out the purposes of the act and not inconsistent with its provisions, for the examination and selection of persons to fill offices and positions in the service of their respective cities, which are required to be filled by appointment, and for the selection of persons to be employed in the service of such city. All rules so made shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor of the city, and they may with like approval be from time to time altered or rescinded by said Commissioners. The said Commissioners shall supervise the administration of the rules so established.

SEC. 3. The rules mentioned in Section 2 of this act may be made from time to time:

Ist.
