SECTION 1. The provisions of section fifty-six D of chapter one hundred and sixty-four of the General Laws shall not apply to the purchase of oil or other fuel supplies by a municipal light commission or manager thereof, provided that such purchase has obtained the prior written approval of the auditor, treasurer and mayor, in the case of a city, or the board of selectmen in the case of a town.

SECTION 2. The provisions of the first paragraph of subsection (f) of section nineteen of chapter seven hundred and seventy-five of the acts of nineteen hundred and seventy-five shall not apply to the purchase of oil or other fuel supplies.
