1128. (1)  In the municipality of the county of Sherbrooke; in the local municipalities of the county of Compton, as it existed on 8 January, 1894, less the municipalities of North Winslow and North Whitton; in the local municipalities of the counties of Stanstead, Brome, Missisquoi, Richmond, and in those of the county of Shefford less the municipalities of the townships of Milton and Roxton; in those of the county of Huntingdon less the municipality of the parish of Saint-Anicet; in the municipality of the township of Leeds less the municipality of East Leeds, if its municipal council passes a by-law to that effect; in the county of Megantic, as well as in the municipalities of L’Avenir, South Durham, the township of Kingsey, and the township of Durham, in the county of Drummond: all works on municipal roads and bridges are executed at the expense of the corporation in the same manner as if a by-law was passed to that effect under this Code.
(2)  The corporation of any of such municipalities may, by by-law or resolution, order that the tax imposed for such works be commutable, in whole or in part, into statute labour according to a scale or tariff at a fixed rate. If no portion of the tax is so commuted, then the council may, each year, set apart such portion of the tax as it deems advisable, for permanent road construction or repairs in the municipality; and, if only a part of the tax is commuted, then the remaining part, or such portion thereof as the council deems advisable, may in like manner be set apart. The portion of tax so set apart must not be used for any other purpose than for permanent road construction or repairs; and if it is not all employed during the year for which it is set apart, it shall remain as a separate fund available for such use during the succeeding year or years. Such permanent work shall be carried on under the supervision of the municipal inspector.
