Promotions shall
be from class to class, and the examination of persons in one class
shall be to test their fitness for promotion to the next higher class:
_Provided, however_, That if in any examination for promotion the
competitors in the next lower class shall not exceed three in number,
the board may, at its discretion, open the competition to one or more
of the classes below the class in which there are not more than three
competitors. All persons in the class immediately below the class for
which promotions are to be made, and who have been in said class at
least six months, must be examined for promotion.
REGULATION 2.
The examination must be held upon such subjects as in the opinion
of the board of examiners, with the approval of the Commission, the
general nature of the business of the office and the special nature
of the positions to be filled may require. In grading the competitors
due weight must be given to the efficiency with which the several
competitors shall have performed their duties in the office; but none
who shall fail to attain a minimum standard of 75 per cent in the
written examination shall be certified for promotion.
REGULATION 3.
The whole list of eligibles from which the promotion is to be made shall
be certified to the nominating officer.
REGULATION 4.
Any person employed in any of the offices to which these regulations
apply may be transferred without examination, after service of six
months consecutively since January 16, 1883, from one office to a
class no higher in another office, upon certification by the board of
examiners that he has passed an examination for the class in which he
is doing duty, and with the consent of the heads of the respective
offices and the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
