changing Section 1-7-2 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/1-7-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 1-7-2)
Sec. 1-7-2. Whenever in this Code any provision thereof is

increase or decrease reflected by the partial census. And the
several courts in this state shall take judicial notice of the
population of any municipality, as the population appears from
the latest federal, state, or municipal census so taken,
