761. Winter roads may be laid out beyond the lines of a summer road, across any field, enclosure or standing timber or any lake, river or watercourse. If the proprietor of such land suffers damage, he shall be indemnified therefor by the municipality. If the municipality and the proprietor come to an understanding thereon, the amount agreed upon is paid; if they do not, the municipality has the damage assessed by the municipal assessors, and the municipality shall always have its recourse against the persons interested in the road for the reimbursement of the money spent.

Such roads cannot, however, without the consent of the proprietor or occupant, be laid out through gardens, orchards, yards or other lands enclosed within hedges, or fences which cannot be taken down or replaced without incurring heavy expense.

The municipality may also, by resolution, allow the opening of winter roads across any field or through any wood, for hauling logs, square timber or cord-wood, provided that a written notice of eight days has been given to every owner of land traversed, and that it be done without causing damage, and by complying with the restrictions contained in this article.
