The purpose of the present Act is to regulate the expropriation of land by municipalities. Section 3 establishes that if the council wishes to acquire land for any purpose authorized by the appropriate municipal Act, and cannot acquire the land by agreement with the owner, the council may pass a bylaw to expropriate the land in the name and on behalf of the municipality. Where the amount of compensation is not agreed upon it shall be determined by a judge, upon application by either party. The Act consists of 22 sections.
