to be appointed thereto in preference to any other qualified
person on the eligible list for such position. If more than
one position in any department shall be abolished or more than
one employee in such department is discharged as a measure of
economy, the employee having the greatest seniority shall be
suspended last.

of the city and the employees therein shall have the same rights
