Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Maryland to His Excellency Lloyd Lowndes, Governor, 1899 From the above figures it is apparent that the past year has been an unprosperous one for the Maryland companies, the premium receipts showing a decrease of one hundred and forty-two thousand dollars less than those of the pre ceding year, the losses seventy thousand dollars more. Capital, Assets, Liabilities, etc., all show a very material decrease. The companies of other States and foreign countries have met with a corresponding unprofitable year.

Excerpt from Annual Report of the President and Directors of the Maryland Penitentiary: Made to His Excellency, Thomas Swann, Governor of Maryland, January, 1868 In accordance with the requirements of the law, the Directors of the Maryland Penitentiary have the honor to submit their annual report of the condition and operations of the State Prison for the year ending with the 30th of November, 1867. The statement of the Clerk of the Institution - marked Table D - shows that the expenses proper for the fiscal year ending with the above date, were $101,506.30, being an excess of $23,198.47, compared with those of the year ending the 30th of November, 1866. The largest items in this increase were the result of the large augmentation in the number of prisoners, the average number for the year, as shown in Table No. 1 of accompanying statistics, being 667, which is 126 greater than the average of the preceding year, and 271 more than the average of the year ending the 30th of November, 1865. This feature of itself, in view of the continued high price of every article consumed or worn by the convicts, is almost sufficient to account for the increase of the cost for maintaining the Institution.

Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Maryland, to His Excellency, John Lee Carroll, Governor, June 1st, 1879 I have not thought it worth while 'to attempt any com parison with the business of the previous year, as it would have been obviously unsatisfactory to compare the figures here given, which are as nearly as possible exact, with those attempted to be given in former reports, when the compa nies were only required to make partial returns. Starting, however, with the present basis, on which much care has been bestowed, I shall hereafter be able to show with some degree of accuracy the fluctuations of the business in its different branches.
