the service performed by him; and such reports shall be preserved on

file.

3. Every false statement knowingly made by any person in his application

for examination, and every connivance by him at any false statement

with his knowledge to influence his examination, certification, or

appointment, shall be regarded as good cause for refusing to certify

such person or for the removal or discharge of such person during his
