The employees named in the list agreed upon by the office of administration, Isthmian Canal affairs, and the Civil Service Commission, who were appointed either temporarily to meet the urgent needs of the service in the absence of available eligibles or were appointed immediately after the signing of the order of January 12, 1906, through a misapprehension of its provisions, may be permanently appointed.
