Within thirty days from the date of the receipt of any certification, the appointing authority shall make a selection to fill the vacancies for which the requisition was made and shall forthwith give written notice of appointment to the persons so selected and to the Commission. Upon request of the appointing authority. giving adequate and detailed reasons why selection to fill the vacancies for which the requisition was made cannot be completed within thirty days, the Commission may grant a reasonable extension. Whenever the appointing authority, having made a requisition to fill a certain number of vacancies, appoints a number smaller than the vacancies stated by them, they shall not make selection from the whole number certified but only from that number of names standing highest upon the list that would have been certified had the requisition stated the number of vacancies actually filled.
