Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates:

The Constitution of Maryland requires the Governor to inform the General Assembly of the condition of the State and recommend such measures as he may judge necessary and expedient for the public welfare.

It has always been my desire, and it is better for the State, for the people to have an accurate knowledge of the Departments and Institutions which derive their support from the public funds.

In the management of all State Institutions and Bureaus I have insisted upon the application of business principles, and it gives me pleasure to say that their condition was never more satisfactory. The details of their workings will shortly be submitted to you by their respective heads. I ask your careful consideration of these reports, as I shall but briefly sketch the operations of the branches of government.
