exhausted. But no such temporary employment shall continue longer than

efficiency, character, conduct and seniority. Lists shall be created
and promotion made therefrom in the same manner as prescribed for
original appointment. An advancement in rank or an increase in salary
beyond the limit fixed for the grade by the rules shall constitute
promotion. Whenever practicable, vacancies shall be filled by promotion.
(12) For suspensions for not longer than thirty days and for leaves of
absence.
(13) For discharge or reduction in rank or compensation after
appointment of promotion is complete, only after the person to be

discharge or reduction, specifically stated and has been allowed a
reasonable time to reply thereto in writing. The reasons and the reply
must be filed as a record with the Commission.
