136. The original of every by-law, to be authentic, must be signed either by the mayor of the municipal corporation or the person presiding at the sitting of the council at the time such by-law was passed and by the secretary-treasurer.
In no case where this Act or any other general law or special Act provides that a by-law must receive an approval may the by-law be published or come into force until it has received that approval. In such a case, a certificate signed by the mayor and by the secretary-treasurer attesting the date of each of the required approvals must accompany and forms part of the original of the by-law.
