I can not gather from the facts I have been able to collect concerning this appropriation that it is justified on any ground.
Such vacancy may, subject to the approval of the Commission, be filled by appointment without examination and certification for such part of three months as will enable the Commission to provide eligibles.
It is quite plain that in fairness and justice no appropriation should be made in favor of the claimant.
