For the purpose of ascertaining the qualifications of persons seeking or named for positions in the Departments and offices of the Municipal Government, there shall be a Board of Examiners for all positions in Schedules B, C, D, E and F, and all examinable positions in Schedule A.

This Board shall be composed of the Chief Examiner and as many citizens designated by the Mayor as the Civil Service Commissioners may deem necessary. None of such Examiners, however, shall be a public officer or employed in any Department of the Municipal Government.

There shall be a Chief Examiner, who shall devote his whole time to the business of his office, who shall preside at meetings of the Board of Examiners, hear appeals from the decision of any of the Examiners, and have the general supervision of the work of the Examiners. It shall be his duty to attend the meetings of the Commission, except when the Commission is in executive session. The rate of compensation of the officers mentioned in this regulation shall be fixed by the Mayor, who will employ assistants, procure suitable offices, and incur such other expenses as may be required for the efficient performance of the duties imposed upon him by the eighth section of chapter 354 of the Laws of the State of New York for the year 1883, as amended by chapter 410 of the Laws of the said State for the year 1884.

It shall be the duty of such Board of Examiners, by such of its members as the Chief Examiner shall designate, to conduct all examinations called for under these regulations, except as herein otherwise provided, and to ascertain the fitness of candidates for the service of the City with regard to character, knowledge and ability for the branch of the service into which they seek to enter, and to determine the relative excellence or standing of the persons examined and to certify the same as herein prescribed.

The Mayor will employ a suitable person who shall act as Secretary of the Supervisory Board, keep minutes of all proceedings and all necessary records of the examination, standing and certification of applicants, and a complete record of all persons employed in the several departments to which these regulations apply, and of all appointments, promotions, dismissals, resignations and other changes of any kind therein. The Secretary shall have the general executive charge of the Civil Service Office, shall assign

the clerks and employes to their respective positions and superintend them in the discharge of their respective duties, and shall be Secretary of the Examining Board. The Secretary shall, after conference with the Chief Examiner, order and fix the dates of examinations, shall see that they are properly and efficiently advertised, and shall indicate to the Chief Examiner which examination shall be first rated and otherwise expedited, to the end that eligible lists which are most needed shall be first prepared.

In addition to the Board of Examiners, herein before prescribed, there shall be a Commission, to be composed of five citizens designated by the Mayor, whose duties shall be:

First. To aid the Mayor, at his request, in preparing suitable regulations for the carrying into effect the provisions of said act. Second. To conduct such inquiries as it may deem expedient respecting the examinations in these regulations provided for; to control such examinations and the general administration of the system created by these regulations, and to decide, from time to time, subject to revision by the Mayor, all questions arising under these regulations or the constructions thereof, and to make an annual report to the Mayor, showing its own action, the regulations and the exceptions thereto in force, the administration thereof, with such suggestions as it may deem necessary for the more effectual accomplishment of the purposes of the said section and of said regulations.
