Description
An Act to repeal a former Act passed in 1818 and continued in 1822, "An Act to provide for the Police of certain Boroughs and Villages," which provided for the police of villages and boroughs consisting of not less than thirty inhabited houses within the space of at least fifteen acres, including the the Borough of William Henry [Sorel-Tracy]. This Act replaces the former by requiring each village or borough to elect Trustees to enforce rules and regulations outlined within it, largely pertaining to fire prevention. The Act outlines how Trustees and an Inspector for each village or borough are to be appointed, as well as their duties and terms.
