Whenever there are urgent reasons for the filling of a vacancy in any position in the Police Department and there are no names on the eligible list for such appointment, Borough Council may nominate a person to the Commission for noncompetitive examination, and such nominee may be certified by the Commission as qualified after such noncompetitive examination, and may be appointed provisionally to fill such vacancy. It shall thereupon become the duty of the Commission within three weeks to hold a competitive examination and certify a list of eligibles and then a regular appointment shall then be made from the name or names submitted by the Commission; provided that nothing within this section shall prevent the appointment, without examination, of persons temporarily as police officers in cases of riot or other emergency.
