Whenever any list of eligible persons, prepared under authority of this rule, shall contain the names of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, entitled to preference as aforsaid, any reference in this rule to the persons standing highest on such list shall be deemed to indicate those standing highest of those entitled to preference by the provisions of this rule, and such persons shall be given preference on any list of registered applicants, as though such applications had been filed prior to those of any persons on such lists not entitled to the preference provided by this section.

No person shall be eligible for appointment for a longer period than one year from the date of his or her physical examination. To determine continued eligibility, physical examinations of those already registered may be held according to the needs of the public service. When such re-examination is to be held, each person to be examined shall be notified by mail, in the order of his or her registration number, to report upon a fixed day and hour for examination. The names of all those who do not report for said examination and the names of all who are found not qualified as the result of said examination shall be stricken from the eligible list. The name of each person qualified shall be retained upon the registration list in the order of his or her original registration.

In case of an emergency, the appointing officer may hire and employ temporarily such and so many persons as shall be rendered necessary by such emergency, forthwith reporting such action, with the full particulars thereof, to the Mayor and to this Commission, but no person shall be so hired or employed for a longer period than three days, except that any person registered or eligible to appointment as a Driver, or as Sweeper in the Department of Street Cleaning, may be temporarily employed at any time as an extra Driver or

Sweeper to fill the place of a Driver or Sweeper who is suspended or temporarily absent from duty from any cause.

Where the labor service of any department or institution extends to separate localities, the Municipal Commission may provide separate registration lists for each district or locality. There shall be separate lists of applicants for different kinds of labor or employment, and the Municipal Commission may establish separate labor lists for various institutions and departments. But the number and character of such separate lists for institutions and departments shall be stated for the information of applicants in the printed application blank, and any person seeking employment in his trade who is duly qualified under these rules shall be registered as eligible for appointment on any or all of such lists for such trade as he may designate. Preference in employment from such lists shall be given according to date of application.

A separate register shall be kept for the positions of Sweeper, Driver and Dump Boardman in the Department of Street Cleaning, and candidates who have passed the physical examination required shall be registered in the order of their applications under the head of the position for which they apply.

The examinations for registry shall be held under the direction of the Municipal Commissioners as often as the City service may require.

Rule 64.

When the services of laborers or other employees included in Schedule G are required in any department of the City service, the officer of such department thereto duly authorized shall make a written requisition upon the Labor Clerk, stating the number of persons required and the time and place of employment. Upon receiving such requisition the Labor Clerk, under the direction of the Municipal Commission, shall certify to such officer the names of persons on the registered list found qualified for the kind of labor required, stating as to each name, address and registration number, the kind of labor, unskilled or special, for which he has been determined to be qualified, and giving such other information

as the Municipal Commission may direct. In making such certificates, the Labor Clerk shall certify:

First--Veterans of the Army or Navy of the United States in the Civil War, who are residents and citizens of this State. Second-Persons not veterans.

If there be no sub-divisions covering the kind of labor required, or if the names in such sub-division be exhausted, the Labor Clerk shall certify from the sub-division covering unskilled labor, unless the officer making the requisition shall designate some other sub-division and there shall be names enough therein to comply with the requisition; in such case the certification shall be made from such sub-division.

From the number of persons so certified, the officer making the requisition shall select the number required and report to the Labor Clerk within twenty-four hours from the date of appointment the names, registration numbers and residences of the persons so selected, provided, however, that whenever the officer shall employ a smaller number than called for in the requisition, he shall not make selection therefor from the whole number certified to him, but only from that number of names standing first upon said list that would have been certified to him had the requisition stated the number of vacancies actually filled.

Rule 65.

The name of any person shall remain upon the registered list for appointment not longer than one year from the date on which it is entered on such list, except after re-examination, as provided in Rule 63. In the case of every employee the department of the City service employing him shall forthwith report him to the Labor Clerk, together with the names and numbers of the persons employed, and upon the termination of the employment shall report, on a form to be prepared and furnished by the Municipal Commissioners for that purpose, the date of such termination and the reason therefor, and the substance of such report shall be entered upon the registry against the name of such employee. No employee whose employment is terminated for the reason of failure to work, incompetence, or physical or moral disqualifi

cations, shall be restored to the registry or be again eligible for registration until the expiration of a period of six months from the date of such termination, and then only upon furnishing to the Examiners satisfactory excuse for his failure to work and satisfactory evidence that incompetence or physical or moral disqualification for the employment for which he seeks to be registered does not exist.

If such employment was after due certification for the same under these rules, or under statutes in force at the time the examinations were held, such persons may be re-employed without further examination.
