                                  AN ACT

     Relating to appointments under the civil service in counties,
        cities, and boroughs, and providing penalties.

        Compiler's Note:  Section 4701 of Act 317 of 1931 provided
            that Act 220 is repealed insofar as it relates to third
            class cities.
        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That the names of all persons
     who shall attain the average percentage required by law or the
     rules and regulations of the board or commission having in
     charge the civil service examinations in any county, city, or
     borough, shall be placed on the eligible list for appointments
     under the civil service in such counties, cities, and boroughs.
        Section 2.  The board or commission shall arrange the names
     of the persons on any eligible list according to their
     percentage, and shall certify to the appointing power, upon
     request, the four names standing highest on said list, and the
     appointing power shall appoint any one of such four persons in
     like manner as other appointments are made, except as
     hereinafter provided in the case of honorably discharged
     soldiers, sailors and marines.
        Section 3.  Preference may be given, by the appointing power,
     to all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines, who
     served in the Army or Navy of the United States during times of
     war, who have passed the required civil service examinations,
     notwithstanding the fact that the names of such soldiers,
     sailors, and marines may not be among the four names standing
     highest upon the eligible lists as hereinbefore provided. Such
     appointments of soldiers, sailors, and marines, may be made
     without regard to any age limitations now provided for by law or
     the rules and regulations of any board or commission having in
     charge civil service regulations in any county, city, or
     borough.
