Register of final count of the decennial census of 1915, 1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122564378

From 1790 to 1837, population censuses in Massachusetts were limited to those taken decennially by the federal government under constitutional provision. Starting in 1837 the General Court authorized state decennial censuses to supplement the federal ones, for determining representation in the legislature and other purposes. These state censuses have been conducted by authority of constitutional and statutory provisions under the auspices of the secretary of the Commonwealth. St 1914, c 692 directed the Bureau of Statistics to undertake a decennial census of inhabitants and legal voters as required by Amendment Articles 21 and 22 of the state constitution and to make a return of the results to the secretary of the Commonwealth that would show the numbers of inhabitants and legal voters in each town and in each ward of cities in Massachusetts. This register of final count includes total numbers of families, males, females, and veterans by ward or district; also the total number of legal voters for each county, including additions made as a result of a final count.

Census information for Concord was taken by Massachusetts authorities in 1765, 1778, 1865, and 1875 and by federal authorities every tenth year from 1790. The census act of 1870 contained a provision whereby the federal government undertook the compilation of the returns of all states making a midway enumeration on the federal blanks.
