6. Every corporation, under its corporate name, has perpetual succession, and may:

(1)  acquire all movable and immovable property required for municipal purposes, by purchase, donation, legacy or otherwise; erect and maintain on said immovable property a public hall and all other buildings which it may require for municipal purposes, and dispose thereof by onerous title, by auction, by public tenders, or in any other manner approved by the Commission municipale du Québec, when not further required;

(2)  purchase for cash, or otherwise acquire, for the use of the corporation, lands situated outside the boundaries of the municipality; such lands, however, shall not form part of the municipality acquiring them, but shall remain part of the municipality in which they are situated;

(3)  lease premises, booths or stands in municipal immovables, parks or public places, and fix the conditions of their lease, use and operation;

(4)  enter into contracts, bind and oblige itself, and bind and oblige others to itself, and transact within the limits of its powers;

(5)  sue and be sued in any cause, before any court;

(6)  exercise all the powers in general vested in it, or which are necessary for the accomplishment of the duties imposed upon it;

(7)  have a seal, the use of which, however, is not obligatory.

Notwithstanding subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph, the corporation may dispose by onerous title, without formality or special authorization, of movable property of a value of less than $1 000 if the secretary-treasurer has given prior public notice thereof of at least 10 days.
