Eighth Annual Report of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Maryland, to His Excellency, John Lee Carroll, Governor, June 1St, 1879, Vol. 1880 (Classic Reprint)

A nnapolis, Md., June 1, 1ST9. To His Excellency, John Lee Caeroll, Governor. SiE: I have the honor to submit to you the following Report of this Department for the past year, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 10, section 28, chapter 106, of the acts of 1878. The extensive nature of the transactions involved in the business of insurance renders it necessary that the fullest information should be afforded by Departments created for the supervision of this large interest, and that the information should be conveyed in the simplest and most direct shape, shorn of much of the unnecessary intricacies that are difficult to comprehend, even by those who have given some attention to insurance matters, and often unintelligible to the ordinary policy-holder. This object I have endeavored to bear in mind in the preparation of this report, and I have, under the several headings, made snch remarks as I thought might prove of use to the citizens of theS tate. Carefully prepared abstracts from the sworn statements of every Insurance Company doing business in theS tate in 1878 (and of those admitted up to the completion of my Report) are appended under appropriate divisions, showing, in as condensed form as possible, their actual condition on the 31st December, 1878, and their transactions during the year ending on that date. Statistical tables, exhibiting the business in detail and volume, are also appended, and, for the first time, the actual receipts and losses are fully shown.
