9F.6 - POPULATION OF COUNTIES, TOWNSHIPS AND CITIES.

        9F.6  POPULATION OF COUNTIES, TOWNSHIPS AND CITIES.
         Whenever the population of any county, township or city is
      referred to in any law of this state, it shall be determined by the
      last preceding certified federal census unless otherwise provided.
      Whenever a special federal census is taken by any city, the mayor and
      council shall certify the census as soon as possible to the secretary
      of state and to the treasurer of state as otherwise herein provided,
      and upon the failure to do so, the treasurer of state shall, after
      six months from the date of the special census, withhold allocation
      from the state to the city of any moneys the amount of which is based
      on the population of the city, and shall continue to do so until such
      time as certification by the mayor and council is made, or until the
      next decennial federal census. If there be a difference between the
      original certified record in the office of the secretary of state and
      the published census the former shall prevail.
