AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 260 of
Article 93 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1961 Supplement),
title "Testamentary Law", sub-title "Orphans' Court", amending
the law concerning the testamentary disposition of certain motor
vehicles in order to provide therein that no inheritance tax shall
be collected on such motor vehicles.

April 6, 1962.

Honorable George W. Delia
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

I am advised that as a result of a Constitutional Amendment
adopted by the voters of our State in 1960, it is unnecessary for me
to return to your Honorable Body my veto messages on Bills passed
during the 1962 Session and subsequently vetoed by me.

However, as a courtesy to you and the other members of the Senate,
I am making available to you copies of all of my veto messages in
order that your Body will be fully familiar with my reasons for taking
the action that I have taken on vetoed Bills.

I have today vetoed Senate Bill No. 35. This Bill pertained to
Inheritance Tax on small estates, consisting solely of two or less motor
vehicles.

I have discussed this Bill at great length with the Attorney General's
Office, and I am advised by that office in writing that this Bill dis-
criminates in favor of certain classes of individuals receiving out of
estates. Because of the views expressed to me by the Attorney
General, I feel I am compelled to veto this Bill.

With kindest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
