his application, unless the Commission shall determine that the good of the public service otherwise requires, and upon such determination at any time, and from time to time, persons who are not residents of Brooklyn may be registered and enrolled upon any list or lists. designated by the Commission, and upon such conditions and terms as the Commission may prescribe. From and after the adoption of this Regulation, no appointment to positions under Schedule D shall be made except from the said lists. Upon receiving a requisition from any head of department, the Commission shall certify from said lists, double the number of names called for, and the said officer shall select the number required from the number so certified and report to the Commission the names selected. Any names not so selected shall remain upon said lists, and any names so selected shall, upon the termination of the employment, be restored to said lists, in the order in which they originally stood thereon, unless the head of the department shall certify in writing that such person is disqualified for cause stated. In making, such certification the Commission shall certify in the order of registration or enrollment: First, veterans with families; second, other veterans; third, men with families; fourth, other men. The same name shall not be certified to the same official more than twice in any one calendar year, unless at the request of such official. In making said list the Commission shall subdivide them so that applicants for general or any particular kind of labor shall be registered or enrolled under separate subdivisions or lists, but no person shall be enrolled on more than two separate lists or subdivisions, unless the Commission shall otherwise direct. Any head of department making a requisition shall state the particular kind of labor to be done, and the names shall be certified in the order named above, from the subdivision covering such particular kind of labor. If there be no subdivision covering such particular kind of labor, or if the names in such subdivision be exhausted, the names shall, except as may be otherwise provided by the Commission, be so certified from the subdivision covering general labor, unless the head of department making a requisition shall designate some other subdivision, and there shall be names enough thereon to comply with the requisition, and in such case the certification shall be made from such subdivision.

All women applying for positions under Schedule D shall be

registered and enrolled on a separate list, and upon the requisition of a head of department their names shall be certified, as in the case of men, in the order of enrollment: First, widows with families; second, single women, including widows without families; third, married women.

The lists above provided for shall remain in force for one year; but all persons thereon shall, upon making written application therefor, be placed on the list for the succeeding year in the order of their enrollment or registration on the previous lists.

The said Commission may, in its discretion, upon the request of any appointing officer, certify only such persons as are under or over an age to be specified by such officer in his requisition.

The said Commission may, if it deems it desirable at any time, provide for dividing the city into districts, and for making separate lists of laborers residing in each of such districts, and may also provide the manner in which requisitions for laborers may be made from said lists. Said Commission may also, at any time in its discretion, consolidate such lists, or any of them, into one or more lists. The Commission may, in its discretion, adopt any list or portion of any list of laborers in existence in any of the city departments on the date of the adoption of this regulation, and it may also, in its discretion, make up a list or lists from the persons on several such lists in such manner as said Commission may think best.

The said Commission may, from time to time, prescribe such rules as it may think desirable or convenient for carrying out the intention of this regulation, and may, in its discretion, provide for the temporary employment of persons not on a list, in case of the exhaustion of any list or lists, and for such other matters or things pertaining to the administration of this regulation, as said Commission may, from time to time, find proper.

And to substitute the following words, to be known as Regulation XLV:
