The Maryland Manual is intended to be a comprehensive reference
work of current official and historical data; as well as information con-
cerning the functions of State Government.

An attempt has been made 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 members and functions of various
commissions, boards, committees, and other governmental agencies created
by the General Assembly.

Endeavor has been made also 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.
