(2) The supervision of the enumeration will be under the charge of Mr. Richard B. Leach, who is hereby designated as supei-visor in charge and made responsible for the rapid and efficient conduct of the enumeration. (3) The work of the enumeration shall be performed by special agents acting as enumerators, to be appointed by the Director of the Census, upon the recommendation of the supervisor in charge. The enumerators so appointed shall be, so far as possible, resident.s of the enumeration districts they are to canvass, and shall be selected because of their fitness for the work and their personal knowledge of the districts they are to canvass. (4) The compensation of the enumerators shall be fixed by the Director of the Census tor each day of eight hours' actual field work.

(6) Attention is called to the fact that section 22 of the act of July 2, 1909, prescribes certain penalties for the failure of enumerators to perform their duties or irregularities in the same.

INTRODUCTION. The special census of Tulsa County, Okla., was ordered by the Secretary of Commerce, at the request of the board of county com- missioners, upon the representations made through Senator Gore and Congressman-elect Howard, to the effect that through the develop- ment and growth of the city of Tulsa and Tulsa County the popula- tion of the county had increased very materially since the Federal census of 1910 and that the official figures of that census did not afford, therefore, a true index of its population at the present tim.e. Accordingly, the request was made that an enumeration of the popu- lation of the county be had under the direction and supervision of the Bureau of the Census. Under the provisions of the general order dated January 4, 1919, it was directed that the special census should be taken as of January 15, 1919, and Mr. Richard B. Leach, of the Bureau of the Census, was designated supervisor in charge of the enumeration. The ex- pense of this special census was borne by the county, in conformity to the terms of an agreement between the Director of the Census and the board of county comm.issioners, acting in behalf of the county. A copy of the general order is printed on page 5, and of the agreem.ent on pages 6 and 7. The supervisor arrived in Tulsa, the county seat, January 12, 1919, and, with his three assistants from, the Bureau of the Census, began the work of the special census the following day. Quarters in the courthouse were furnished by the county commissioners, who cooper- ated heartily and ro.ade every effort to assist in the furtherance of the work. The county was divided into 100 enum.eration districts. Two enumerators were appointed on Saturday, January 18, and during the following week most of the other enumerators were appointed and began their work. Eighty-one enumerators were em.ployed. The enumeration of the city of Tulsa, with the exception of one dis- trict, was completed on January 31, 1919; and the enum.eration of the entire county was completed on February 12, 1919. As an aid to the completeness of the work of enumeration, the enumerators were given special instructions to inquire particularly at each home as to whether any person usually residing there had been recently inducted into the military and naval service of the CENSUS or TULSA COUNTY, OKLA., 1&19. 9 United States. This was necessary in order that the county might be credited with all the population to which it was entitled, many of these registrants being single men without dependents and hence not likely to be reported at the place where they resided or lodged at the time of registration. In the city of Tulsa, the house numbers as recorded on the enu- merators' schedules were checked against the house numbers reported in the new city directory, just off the press on January 27, 1919. The few apparent discrepancies were carefully investigated with the result that very few omissions of houses were discovered in the enu- merators' returns. The few houses that had been omitted were added to the schedules, together with the names of the persons residing in them. Also, a special investigation of those homes where the enumerators reported they were unable to secure any informa- tion after repeated calls, resulted in the addition of a nimiber of names to the schedules. By this system of checking it is beheveda very close count of the population was secured. STATISTICS OF THE ENUMERATION. SUMMARY. Tulsa County, Okla., is in the northeastern part of the state. It comprises 13 townships and 10 incorporated places. Tulsa, in the west central part of the county, is the county seat and has the largest population of any city in the county. Sand Springs, in the western part of the county, is the second city in point of population. The other places, in the order of their population, are Collinsville, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Skiatook, Red Fork, Sperry, and Owasso. The results of the special census of population, taken as of January 15, 1919, show for Tulsa County as a whole a population of 95,364, as compared with 34,995 in 1910 and 21,693 in 1907. This is an increase from 1910 to 1919 of 60,369, or 172.5 per cent, and from 1907 to 1910 of 13,302, or 61.3 per cent.

This is an increase from 1915 to 1919 of 30,542, or 108.2 per cent, from 1910 to 1915 of 10,058, or 55.3 per cent, from 1907 to 1910 of 10,884, or 149.1 per cent, and from 1910 to 1919 of 40,600, or 223.3 per cent.

Of the total population of 95,364, as enumerated in Tulsa County in 1919, 49,270, or 51.7 per cent, are males and 46,094, or 48. 3 per cent, are females. In 1910 and in 1907, also, the males exceeded the fe- males, but the proportion of males decreased gradually from 1907 to 1919. From 1910 to 1919 the percentage of increase for males was 159.6 and for females 187.9, as compared with an increase of 58.5 and 64.8 per cent, respectively, from 1907 to 1910. The white population of the county numbered 85,262 in 1919 and" constituted 89.4 per cent of the total population, as compared with 88.2 per cent in 1910 and 88.4 per cent in 1907. The Negro popula- tion in 1919 was 8,803 and constituted 9.2 per cent of the total popu- lation, as compared with 7.9 per cent in 1910 and 6.6 per cent in 1907. The Indian population in 1919 was 1,283, or 1.3 per cent of the total population, as compared with 3.9 per cent in 1910 and 5 per cent in 1907. The remainder of the population in 1919 con- sisted of 6 Chinese and 10 Japanese. There was an increase from 1910 to 1919 of 176.3 per cent in the white population and of 219.6 per cent in the Negro population, while during the same period the Indian population suffered a decrease of 7.1 per cent. With respect to the age distribution of the population of the county, the figures show that in 1919 for the two sexes combined, persons 5 years of age and under constituted 12.9 per cent, persons 6 to 20 years of age 28.7 per cent, and persons 21 years and over 58.4 per cent of the total. The males in each age group, the females 5 years of age and under, and the females 6 to 20 years of age, re- spectively, constituted a smaller proportion of the total population in 1919 than in 1910, while during the same period there was an in- crease from 23.8 per cent to 27.5 per cent in the proportion females 21 years and over constituted of the total population. The proportions of males and females and of whites and Negroes in the population of Tulsa city in 1919 do not differ greatly from those for the county as a whole, but the proportion of males and females 21 years of age and over is much greater in the city than in the entire county — 33.1 per cent for males and 30.6 per cent for females in the city, as compared with 30.9 per cent for males and 27.5 per cent for females in the county as a whole. The population of Tulsa County and of Tiilsa city in 1919, 1910, and 1907 is distributed by sex, with respect to color or race, in Table 3. The table shows, both for the county as a whole and for the city, that the males have outnumbered the females in the total population and in the white population at each census considered. In the county as a whole the Negro males exceeded the Negro females at each of the three censuses, but in the city the Negro females were in excess in 1919. At each census the Indian females exceeded the Indian males in the county as ,a whole, while in the city the females were in excess in 1910 but were slightly exceeded by the males in 1919.
