Scottsdale to conduct special census in 1975
Scottsdale City Council approves a fall 1975 special census aiming to show a population near 95 000, about 27 000 more than 1970. The effort costs about 48 000 with 5 000 paid upfront and 15 000 due before March, plus 28 000 reserved for enumerators and 2 000 for city services. The move seeks to protect state shared revenue like sales and gasoline taxes, estimated at 2.4 million this year.
