The civil service commission shall keep a list of all administrative and other employees on a monthly salary basis (firemen and policemen excepted), and formulate methods of determining the relative qualifications of persons seeking employment in any such department, and give preference to those having the best qualifications. The commission shall provide that men laid off because of a curtailment of expenditures, reduction in force, and like causes, shall be the last man or men, including probationers, that have been appointed to any such position, until such reductions necessary shall have been accomplished. However, in the event said forces shall again be increased in number, those suspended shall be reinstated before any new appointments shall be made.
