When such duration or term of service is certified to be for a longer period than one month, the Commission shall certify to the appointing officer the names of the three graded highest on the proper register who, upon due inquiry, are found willing to accept such temporary appointment, and from the three so certified a selection shall be made for the temporary service required. When the duration of service is certified not to exceed one month, and the need of such service to be immediate and urgent, the appointing officer may select for such temporary service, any person on the proper register of those eligible for permanent appointment, except that in the prisons, reformatories and asylums, temporary substitutes may be appointed without examination, for not exceeding thirty days in cases of disability by sickness or otherwise, and except that temporary appointments of officers may be made, for not more than five days in any case, to transfer prisoners from one prisou to another or as substitutes for regular officers who are necessarily absent, engaged in this duty."

temporarily a second time, unless sixty days shall have elapsed since the termination of his previous term of temporary service, and every temporary appointment without examination must be reported to the Commission within five days with the reason for the same." (Approved, July 27, 1886.)
