of the City shall from time to time determine the employment
needs of the Classified Service, and shall so far as practical
have available when needed a list of prospective appointees to
the several positions in the Classified Service.

(b) The Commission shall provide for such examinations
and other tests as in its judgment may be necessary to de-
termine the qualifications of applicants for positions in the
Classified Service, giving due announcement thereof in the
newspapers of the City.

(c) The Commission shall reject such applicants who fail
to comply with reasonable requirements as to age, sex, physi-

to exceed sixty days, the appointing officer with the approval
of the Commission may make a temporary appointment from
among persons not on the eligible list; but a temporary ap-
pointment shall remain effective only until a regular appoint-
ment can be made, and in no event longer than sixty days.
