Scope and Content: In 1986 the secretary of state challenged the City of Boston’s 1985 decennial census results; the Decennial Census Commission was established by the governor to investigate.  This series was created to report to the secretary the commission’s findings on the determinatioin and verification of the Boston census.  The report includes a description of the commission’s proceedings and purpose; findings relating to the city’s census process, to the verification and correction of the census, and to the determination and verification of the city population based on other data; and recommendations, including one that the state decennial census be discontinued and that federal census data be used to set the boundaries for state senatorial and representative districts.
