Dear Governor Mandel:

Iam pleased to transmit to you the "1975 Maryland Statistical
Abstract", which was prepared and published by the Department as part of
its continuing effort to maintain, on as current a basis as feasible, a
data base on which sound decisions affecting the welfare of our citizens
can be made by government and private enterprise.

We update this publication every two years, thus providinga
statistical record of the composition, changes and trends in population,
incomes and employment in business and industry, governmental receipts
and expenditures, agriculture, natural resources, and many other aspects
of life in Maryland. Hopefully, State and local government agencies,
individuals, and business firms will find the data useful to them.

We believe this edition to bethe most complete compendium of
State data yet produced in Maryland. In updating and expanding the coverage
of the last Statistical Abstract, we have included valuable data from the
Economic and Social Atlas of Maryland and the Supplement thereto. Also, in
the Appendix to this volume, we have reproduced a number of historical time
series, by month, of significant economic indicators.Great care has been taken to insure the usefulness and accuracy
of this publication. As with previous editions, this report has benefited
from suggestions and comments from interested users. We anticipate a con-
tinuation of such support in the future.



Sincerely,
