TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Comptroller's Office,

January 8th, 1857.
To the Governor of Maryland: .

In obedience to the requirements of the Act of Assembly,
of 1852, Chapter 56, Section 1, the Comptroller of the Treasury
Department respectfully submits the following Report:

THE OPERATIONS OF THE TREASURY FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR.

Statement No. 1, appended to this Report, upon exami-
nation, will show the aggregate receipts into the Treasury
for the fiscal year, ended the 30th of September, 1856, to
have been $1,230,522.34, which added to $592,922.03, (the
balance in the Treasury on the 30th of September, 1855) makes
the total amount in the Treasury, during the fiscal year,
$1,823,444.37.

A comparison of these receipts with those of the preceding
fiscal year, will show a difference in favor of the aggregate
receipts for the fiscal year ending 30th September, 1856, of
$29,759.76.

It will also appear that the receipts from revenue which
accrued during the year just closed, exceed those of the pre-
ceding fiscal year by the sum of $54,542.40, notwithstanding
he repeal of the Stamp Tax at the last session of the General
Assembly, and the reduction of the Direct Tax from fifteen cents
to ten cents on $100.

Statement No. 2, will exhibit the disbursements from the
Treasury in the fiscal year, ended the 30th of September,
1856, which were $1,230,508.05, and will, also, show the
balance in the Treasury, as of the 30th of September, 1856, to
have been $592,936.32, subject to the payment of charges therein
stated, leaving a nett balance applicable to future demands of
$310,410.78.

THE ESTIMATES.

The probable receipts in the current fiscal year, ending the
30th of September, 1857, will be found estimated in State-
ment No. 3; and Statement No." 4, shows an estimate of the
probable demand upon the Treasury for the same period.
