THE following pages present individual summaries on the several states, commonwealths arid territories. Included are listings of certain
of the executive officials, the Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts, officers of the legislatures, and members of the Commissions on Interstate Cooperation. Each page concludes with a brief set of statistics for the state concerned. . < . '
Listings of all officials are as of December, 1955, except that elective officers of the executiye brainch chosen in the November, 1955, elections and inaugurated subsequently,-are included.
Figures on general revenue and expenditures were furnished in most cases by the United States Bureau of the Census, which coordinates data from states to compensate for variations in terminology and record procedures, making the statistics more nearly comparable. Census Bureau figures of state populations also ate used. Most of the data on the following pages, however, were provided directly by agencies of the states themselves.
Rosters, of administrative officials classified by functions and a directory of state legislators follow the state pages. i
