(_b_) If fitness for the place to be filled is tested by
competitive examination, the board of examiners shall certify the names
of three males or three females, these names to be those of the
eligibles who, standing higher in grade than any other three eligibles
of the same sex on the register from which certification is to be made,
have not been certified three times from said register: _Provided_,
That if upon said register there are the names of eligibles who, under
section 1754 of the Revised Statutes, have claim of preference in civil
appointments, the names of such eligibles shall be certified before the
names of other eligibles higher in grade. The Commission shall make
regulations that will secure to each of such preference-claiming
eligibles, in the order of his grade among other preference claimants,
an opportunity to have his claim of preference considered and determined
by the appointing officer.
(_c_) Each name on a register of eligibles may be certified only
three times: _Provided_, That when a name has been three times
certified, if there are not three names on the register of higher grade,
it may, upon the written request of a nominating officer to whom it has
not been certified, be included in any certification made to said
officer.
2. Of the three names certified the nominating officer must select one;
and if at the time of making this selection there are more vacancies
than one, he may select more than one name.
