26. The council itself shall exercise the powers conferred upon it by this Act; it shall not delegate them, except in the cases provided for in this Act.
Nevertheless, it may appoint committees composed of as many of its members as it deems advisable, with power to examine and study any question. In such case, the committees must render account by report, but no report of a committee has any effect until it has been adopted by the council at a regular sitting.
