Inspector. The examinations shall be public and of such character
as to test fairly the relative capacity and fitness of the candidates to
discharge the duties of the positions for which they are seeking to

the service records and ratings of the Chief Personnel Officer for
those candidates who have achieved at least the minimum passing
grade on the written examination, and the mark to be given each
such qualified candidate shall be determined by giving equal weight
to [the] such result of the written examination and to the service

passing grade on the written examination fixed by the Examining
Authority, his name shall not appear on the graded list for such
appointment or promotion. Any list supplied to the Police Commis-
sioner shall remain in force for one year thereafter unless sooner
exhausted by appointments or promotions. Persons whose names
remain on the list after its expiration shall be eligible for a subse-

open to the inspection of the public, and the examination papers and
service records or ratings shall be open to inspection of the respective
