business capacity necessary for the proper discharge of the duties of such
office, position, or place of employment as determined by examination for
original entrance. The Director of Human Resources on certifying from any existing

hereinabove designated whose names appear on any register of eligibles
resulting from an examination for original entrance held under the
provisions of this Act and commenced on or after September 1, 1949 by
adding to the final grade average which they received or will receive as
the result of any examination held for original entrance, five points. The
numerical result thus attained shall be applied by the Director of Human Resources
in determining the position of such persons on any eligible list which has
been created as the result of any examination for original entrance
commenced on or after September 1, 1949 for purposes of preference in
certification and appointment from such eligible list.
Every certified Civil Service employee who was called to, or who

honorably discharged therefrom or who are now or who may hereafter be on
inactive or reserve duty in such military or naval service, not including,
however, persons who were convicted by court martial of disobedience of
orders where such disobedience consisted in the refusal to perform military
service on the ground of alleged religious or conscientious objections
against war, and whose names appear on existing promotional eligible
registers or any promotional eligible register that may hereafter be
created, as provided for by this Act, shall be preferred for promotional
appointment to civil offices, positions and places of employment in the
classified civil service of the District coming under the provisions of
this Act.
The Director of Human Resources shall give preference for promotional
appointment to persons as hereinabove designated whose names appear on
existing promotional eligible registers or promotional eligible registers
that may hereafter be created by adding to the final grade average which

commencing prior to September 1, 1949 three-fourths of one point for each 6
months or fraction thereof of military or naval service not exceeding 48
months, and by adding to the final grade average which they will receive as
the result of any promotional examination held commencing on or after
September 1, 1949 seven-tenths of one point for each 6 months or fraction
thereof of military or naval service not exceeding 30 months. The numerical
result thus attained shall be applied by the Director of Human Resources in
determining the position of such persons on any eligible list which has
been created or will be created as the result of any promotional
examination held hereunder for purposes of preference in certification and
appointment from such eligible list.
No person shall receive the preference for a promotional appointment
granted by this Section after he has received one promotion from an
eligible list on which he was allowed such preference and which was
prepared as a result of an examination held on or after September 1, 1949.
No person entitled to preference or credit for military or naval service
hereunder shall be required to furnish evidence or record of honorable
discharge from the armed forces before any examination held under the
provisions of this Act but such preference shall be given after the posting
or publication of the eligible list or register and before any
