Description:Excerpt from Census of the Virgin Island of the United States: November 1, 1917 Sir: I submit the following report concerning the special census of the Virgin Islands of the United States, authorized by the Secretary of Commerce at the request of the Secretary of the Navy. Under the terms of the general order promulgated October 1, 1917, by the Director of the Census, and approved by the Secretary of Commerce (Appendix I), a census of the Virgin Islands was ordered to be taken as of November 1, 1917, and Mr. Eugene F. Hartley, chief statistician for manufactures of the Census Bureau, was designated as supervisor in charge. The inquiries were to relate to population, agriculture, manufactures, and fisheries. In addition to these inquiries, at the request of the naval government of the Virgm Islands, statistics relating to wages and hours of labor of persons employed were collected from representative industrial establishments. On account of delays incident to securing transportation, the actual enumeration of the islands did not begin until seven weeks after the date set for the canvass. The supervisor, accompanied by Mr. Arthur J. Hirsch, expert special agent in charge of agriculture; Dr. Alba M. Edwards, expert special agent in charge of population; Mr. Dan C. Vaughan, chief of the division of publications of the Department of Commerce; and Mr. Oscar H. Gordon, Mr. William Ranger, and Mr. George H. Thomas, of the Census Bureau, arrived at St. Thomas on December 17, 1917. On the following day, in conference with Rear Admiral James H. Oliver, naval governor of the Virgin Islands, and his aids, Maj. J. F. Dyer, Lieut. Commander William R. White, and Dr. C. S. Butler, surgeon, United States Navy, the scope of the various inquiries and the organization of the census were discussed. On December 19, through the courtesy of Gov. Oliver, adequate quarters were provided in Fort Christian, in the town of Charlotte Amalie. The division of the island of St. Thomas into 16 enumeration districts - 10 in the town of Charlotte Amalie and 6 in St. Thomas rural - and of the island of St. John into 5 enumeration districts was completed (Appendix II).
