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 Trea-
sury 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 $1,230,372, 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, $1,823,294.03.

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
$29,609.42.

It will also appear that the receipts from revenue which
accrued during the year just closed, exceed those of the
preceding fiscal year by the sum of $54,465.01, notwithstand-
ing the 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 $1,187,421.28, and will, also, show the
balance in the Treasury, as of the 30th of September, 1856,
to have been $635,872.75, subject to the payment of charges
therein stated, leaving a nett balance applicable to future
demands of $353,347.21.
