 upon a requisition signed by five or more members 
 of the said Council, in case of absence of the Mayor 
 of the said city, or of his sickness, or his refusal to 
 call the same, shall bo deemed and considered a suf- 
 ficient notice to authorize the city clerk to issue the 
 summons to the members of the Council in the man- 
 ner prescribed by the said section ; 
 
 3. All special meetings of the said Council here- 
 tofore called and convened by the Mayor or by an 
 alderman, or by a requisition signed by five or more 
 members of the said Council without any special 
 notice signed by them or any of them to the said 
 city clerk, requiring him to issue his summons in 
 the form prescribed in the said forty-ninth section, 
 shall be held and taken to have been so called and 
 convened legally and in accordance with the re- 
 quirements of the said forty-ninth section ; Provided 
 always, that nothing herein contained shall affect or 
 prejudice the claims of any person or persons con- 
 cerned in any proceeding, suit or instance now 
 pending in the Superior Court of the District of 
 Montreal, wherein the validity of certain proceed- 
 ings of the said Council of the City of Montreal is 
 called in question ; 
 
 2, And whereas it is enacted in and by ihe thirty- 
 third section of the Act passed in the twenty-seventh 
 and twenty-eighth years of Her Majesty's Reign, 
 chapter sixty, " that any proprietor in the second, 
 third and fourth sections of Notre-Dame street afore- 
 said, whose property, or any portion of whose pro- 
 perty, is required for the said improvement, who 
 may be desirous of anticipating the time fixed for 
 carrying out the said improvement in front of his 
 property, may do so, by amicable arrangement, at 
 
AMENDMENTS TO CHARTER. 
 
 any time before the confirmation and homologation 
 of the report of the said commissioners for the section 
 of the said street in which such proprietor is inter- 
 ested, or after the conlirmation and homolagation of 
 the said report, by an acceptance of the terms or 
 price set upon his property in the said, report ;" but 
 no provision is made to enable the Corporation of the 
 said city to provide the necessary funds to meet the 
 payment of the amount aw^arded in such cases, it is 
 therefore enacted, that whenever any proprietor in 
 the second, third or fourth sections of Notre Dame 
 street, may desire to avail himself of the privilege 
 conferred upon him by the said thirty-third section, 
 by anticipating the time lixed for carrying out the 
 widening of the said street in front of his property, 
 such proprietor shall be bound to give a written noti- 
 ce of such his intention to the said corporation ; and 
 it shall be the duty of the said corporation to depo- 
 sit, in the hands of the prothonotary of the Superior 
 Court, within fifteen days from and after the said 
 notice, the amount of the price and compensation 
 w^hich shall have been set upon the said property 
 by the Commissioners. 
 
 3. And whereas it is expedient to simplify the 
 procedure before the Recorder's Court in prosecu- 
 tions instituted against parties selling spirituous, 
 vinous or lermented liquors without license : it is 
 hereby enacted that the said prosecutions before the 
 said Court may henceforth be instituted either by a 
 writ of summons or by warrant, as pro\'ided in and 
 by chapter one hundred and three of the Consoli- 
 dated Statutes of Canada, in relation to summary 
 convictions before Justices of the Peace.

 but the defendant may, at any time, ol)taii> hisliher- 
 aMon from such imprisonment, by making* full pay- 
 ment cf the said penalty, and all costs, whether in- 
 curred upon or after conviction. 
 
 tt. And whereas delays and obstructions have 
 occurred in dealnig- with cases and suits cognizable 
 by the llecorder's Court of the said city, by reason 
 of doubts which were raised as to the power of the 
 Clerk of the said Recorder's Court to conduct the 
 said cases and suits, it is hereby declared and enacted 
 as follows : 
 
 The said clerk of the Recorder's Court is author- 
 ized and vested with all the necessary powers, and 
 it is his duty to conduct in behalf and in the name 
 of the plaintiffs or prosecutors, when such plaintilis

 able by and within the jurisdiction of the said Court.

 Montreal have experienced serious difficulties in the 
 fulfilment of the duties imposed upon them by law

 said council, from such responsibility, and for that 
 purpose to amend chapter six of the consolidated 
 statutes for Lower Canada ; it is therefore enacted 
 that the powers conferred upon the said city coun- 
 cil by sections nine, eleven and thirteen, of chapter 
 six of the consolidated statutes for Lower Canada, 
 concerning the confirmation or rejection of the cer- 
 tificates required to obtain a license, are henceforth 
 conferred upon a board to be composed of the chair- 
 men of the standing committees of the said council, 
 who are hereby exclusively invested with all the 
 rights and powers held to this day by the said coun- 
 cil, concerning the said granting or rejection of ta- 
 vern certificates,

 with the clerk of the said city, on or before the 
 fifteenth day of March in each and every year and 
 no later ; and each application aforesaid shall be ac- 
 companied by the sum of one dollar to defray the 
 cost of advertising and other incidental expenses. 
 
 12. It shall be the duty of the said board to con- 
 sider the said applications for certificates, and to 
 grant or reject the same, as they may see fit, and to 
 close their labors on or before the fifteenth day of 
 April following and not later, and they shall report

 16. And whereas, the premises now used in the 
 said city of Montreal as a city hall, are inadequate 
 to the proper working and administration of the mu- 
 nicipal affairs, and do not offer sufficient security for 
 the preservation of the city's archives and decu- 
 ments, and in consequence thereof, the corporation 
 of the said city have acquired from the provincial 
 jQfovernment, by deed passed at the said city of 
 Montreal, on the twenty-ninth day of June, one 
 thousand eight hundred and sixty seven, before 
 Theod. Doucet and colleague notaries, a lot of 
 ground or real property situated within the limits of 
 the said city, on the express condition that the said 
 corporation shall construct on the said lot or real 
 property a city hall, and shall not use the same for 
 any other purposes, and that the said edifice shall 
 be erected within five years from the date of such 
 deed, and to enable the said corporation to fulfil 
 their engagements as aforesaid, it is hereby enacted 
 that the said corporation may effect a special loan 
 to the amount of two hundred and fifty thousand 
 dollars, current money of this province, to be known 
 as " The City Hall Loan," for which the said corpo- 
 ration are authorized to issue, under the signature 
 of the mayor and the seal of the said corporation,

 bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent, every 
 year, payable semi-annually on the first day of May 
 and the first day of November , and such bonds or 
 debentures may be issued from time to time, for 
 such period and for such amount as may be deemed

 as the interest, be secured by special mortgage and

 upon the buildings and works to be erected thereon ; 
 provided, however, the proceeds of the said bonds 
 or debentures shall be applied and expended only 
 for the purposes of the erection of a city hall on the 
 lot of ground aforesaid, and not otherwise or else- 
 where.

 tions of the present act, regulating the issue of bonds 
 and debentures, their registration and transfer, and 
 the establishment of a sinking fund, under the res- 
 ponsibility of the treasurer of the said city, and his 
 rights and obligations in that respect, shall apply 
 also to the issuing, enregistering, transferring and 
 payment of the bonds or debentures, the issue of 
 which is authorized by the preceding section, and 
 to the establishing of a sinking fund, at the rate of 
 two per cent annually, on the said sum of two 
 hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for the purpose 
 of paying off the said loan.
