Sec. 3-14020. Appointments to classified service. The head of the institution, department or office in which a position classified under this Division is to be filled, shall notify the president of the board and said commission of that fact, and said commission shall certify to the appointing officer the name and address of the candidate standing highest upon the register for the class or grade said position belongs to, except that in case of laborers, where a choice by competition is impracticable, said commission may provide by its rules that the selection may be made by lot from among those candidates proved fit by examination.
