When, for any reason, the Commission shall hold an examination to create an eligible
list for any grade of the service while there are eligibles on any existing list for such grade, and any person on such existing list takes such examination, they shall be given the standing on such combined list to which the highest grade received in either examination shall entitle them during the continuance of the first list and thereafter they shall take rank in accordance with the grade received in the subsequent examination.
