The secretary-treasurer of the municipality shall, at least 15 days before the day fixed, give public notice calling upon qualified persons to vote, indicating the days and place where the poll will be held and containing the particulars provided for in the second paragraph of article 303.
So long as that notice is not published, the council may withdraw the by-law and annul the proceedings related thereto by ordering, by resolution, the secretary-treasurer to inform the persons concerned of those decisions by publishing a public notice within eight days after the date of the resolution.
