Scope and Content: The Metropolitan Park Commission (MPC) (1893-1919) and its successor the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) (since 1919) have been responsible for oversight of the acquisition, maintenance, policing, and use of the Metropolitan Parks District (Boston and surrounding communities), including maintenance of its roads and sewers.  Correspondence (recorded in letterpress copybooks) from the MPC secretary to the MPC engineer and later from the MDC secretary to the MDC director of park engineering transmits information and instructions for work assignments from commission meetings and from other commission departments.
