Full text
204. Unless otherwise provided for in a by-law under article 960.1, the clerk-treasurer pays out of the funds of the municipality all sums of money due by it whenever, by resolution, he is authorized to do so by the council or, where such is the case, by a decision of the executive committee of a regional county municipality. If the sum to be paid does not exceed $25, the authorization of the head of the council is sufficient.
Even in the absence of authorization from the council or from its head, it is his duty to pay, out of the funds of the municipality, any draft or order drawn upon him, or any sum demanded, by any one empowered so to do by this Code, or by any municipal by-law.
No draft or order may, however, be legally paid unless the same shows sufficiently the use made or to be made of the sum therein mentioned.
