(70 ILCS 1545/4) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.54)
Sec. 4.
All persons employed by the park district upon the effective date
as park policemen, or in boulevard maintenance and repair work, or in the
investigation, study and planning of traffic on boulevards, who held such
positions by virtue of the classified civil service under "An Act relating
to the civil service in park systems," approved June 10, 1911, as
amended, shall be transferred to the employment of the city and be given
a civil service status under Division 1 of Article 10 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended, without examination.
Eligible and reemployment registers of the civil service board of the park
district pertaining to such positions of employment shall be transferred to
the civil service commission of the city and accorded the same legal status
in respect to persons designated therein as if such registers had been
established under the procedures of the civil service commission of the
city. The Civil Service Commission of the city shall classify the positions
of all park district employees so transferred and such employees shall be
assigned to positions, so far as may be practicable, having duties and
responsibilities equivalent to their park district employment. For the
purpose of establishing the civil service status of park policemen
transferred to the city, any rank above the rank of captain shall not be
recognized. The civil service commission of the city may, in its
discretion, cancel any eligible register of the civil service board of the
park district transferred to it as has been in force more than two years.
