| 16 |
| partial census is conducted pursuant to Section 1-7-1, the |
| 17 |
| Secretary of State shall certify the total number of |
| 18 |
| inhabitants of the municipality as the number reflected by the |

| last complete census of the municipality adjusted by the net |
| 20 |
| increase or decrease reflected by the partial census. And the |
| 21 |

from |
| 23 |
| the latest federal, state, or municipal census so taken, |
