39. Every municipality other than village municipalities, must at all times have a population of at least 300 souls, except in the territory situated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, between Betsiamites and Blanc-Sablon, where a population of at least 100 souls shall suffice.

Whenever a municipality no longer has a population of 300 souls or of 100 souls, as the case may be, the Lieutenant-Governor, on the report of the Minister of Municipal Affairs, or upon the request of the council of the municipality or of 10 resident ratepayers, may order, by proclamation published in the Gazette officielle du Québec, that such municipality shall, from the date fixed by the proclamation, be deemed to be unorganized territory and shall be governed in accordance with article 36.

The municipal officers or any persons having in their possession books, registers, plans, rolls, lists, documents, papers, archives, tools, material or other things being the property of the municipality mentioned in the proclamation, must, without delay, deliver them to the secretary-treasurer of the county council and, in the event of refusal, such municipal officers or persons shall be liable to a fine of $100 in addition to any other recourse.
