209. The secretary-treasurer shall issue to any person applying therefor, upon payment of the fees exigible under the tariff fixed by the council and payable to the general fund of the corporation copies of or extracts from any book, roll, register or other document which forms part of the archives.

The Minister of Municipal Affairs is authorized to establish by decree the fees exigible under the first paragraph. From the date of such decree and within the framework so established, the council may require the tariff it considers appropriate, failing which the issue of such documents is free of charge. At the request of the council, the Minister may authorize it to fix a tariff providing fees greater than those established by the decree.

It is also his duty to send without delay by mail, to the principal place of business of any corporation, railway company or ratepayer whose place of business and domicile are without the municipality, who shall have filed in the office of the corporation a general application to that effect, and shall have made such principal place of business known, a certified copy of every public notice, by-law, resolution or procès-verbal filed for homologation or homologated, which affects such corporation, company or ratepayer, as well as a certified extract from the valuation roll, including the valuation of the taxable property of such corporation, company or ratepayer, together with a bill of the fees exigible under the preceding paragraph which the corporation, company or ratepayer is bound to pay immediately on receipt of such document.

The secretary-treasurer is nevertheless bound to furnish gratuitously any copy or extract required by the Lieutenant-Governor or by the corporation.
