17 the population of the villages located within such towns. The cash
18 payments to the villages located within the county shall be allocated on

28 item of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdic-
29 tion to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate
30 the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the
31 clause, sentence, paragraph, section or item thereof directly involved
32 in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
33 § 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
