The Maryland Manual is intended to be a comprehensive reference
work of current official as well as historical data together with infor-
mation concerning the functions of State Government.

An attempt has been made in limited space to present facts of real
interest concerning the State of Maryland, including its Charter and
Constitution, the names of all State and County officials and mem-
bers and functions of various commissions, boards, committees, and
other governmental agencies created by the General Assembly, and
those emanating therefrom.

Endeavor has been made to furnish financial, educational, political
and historical data of general interest to the Citizenry and State
officials.

Sincere appreciation is extended to county, state and national
officials who so courteously assisted in the accumulation of material
and information for this volume.
