Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland, 1905
In presenting this, the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Department, and the second report during my term of office, I feel satisfied that it contains much information which will be of value to the citizens of the State, as well as to the Legislature in particular. The office having not yet assumed its normal condition, 'and the removal from the temporary headquarters taken after the fire to the present location in the Equitable Building, caused considerable break in the continuity of the work and the investigations that_ might have been taken up. However, we need offer no excuses for this report. The great demand on the Department for the Twelfth Annual Report has caused us to devote much of the space in this book to a description of the State and Counties and its manufactures. This chapter, we are sure, will meet with the approbation of the general public, if not the student of social economics. The maps and pictures that accompany the report of the State and City of Baltimore are new and up-to - date, and we have no doubt Will be eagerly sought.
In the following pages will be found the usual reports on industrial matters, such as strikes, labor organizations, employ ment of children, the cost of living, etc. These figures show that our industries have been prosperous, our mechanics well employed, and the cost of living has increased commensurate with, if not more than the rise in wages.
