2. The Commission may refuse to certify--

(_a_) An eligible who is so defective in sight, speech, or hearing,

or who is otherwise so defective physically as to be apparently unfit to

perform the duties of the position to which he is seeking appointment.

(_b_) An eligible who has made a false statement in his

application, or been guilty of fraud or deceit in any matter connected

with his application or examination, or who has been guilty of a crime

or of infamous or notoriously disgraceful conduct.

3. If an appointing or nominating officer to whom certification has been

made shall object in writing to any eligible named in the certificate,

stating that because of physical incapacity or for other good cause

particularly specified such eligible is not capable of properly

performing the duties of the vacant place, the Commission may, upon

investigation and ascertainment of the fact that the objection made is

good and well founded, direct the certification of another eligible in

place of the one to whom objection has been made.
