SIGNING SENATE BILL 632 199

Q. Governor, do you have any idea where you are going to move
during the renovations now that you have to move a month ahead
of time from the executive mansion to nowhere?

A. Yes, we are going to move onto the State yacht until such time as
the residence that we have leased in Ocean City will be available. I'll
continue to live on the State yacht throughout the summer with prob-
ably weekend visits to Ocean City. My family will be down there be-
ginning sometime around the first part of June. The money for this

residence in Ocean City will be provided one half by the Governor

from his personal private monies and one half from the allowances
of the executive mansion that are customarily provided.

Q. Has the name of the yacht been changed yet?

A. Not yet. I'm considering changing the name of the yacht, and I
want to make this clear: this is not aimed at Governor Tawes, a gentle-
man for whom I have high respect. I just feel that the yacht should
have a timeless nonpolitical name, someone who is out of political
controversy totally or maybe only dimly remembered for his political
associations, like say Francis Scott Key or somebody of that sort.

Q. Do you have a name in mind as yet?

A. We're looking for a good one. If you have any suggestions let us
know.

STATEMENT ON SIGNING SENATE BILL 632

(SANITARY FACILITIES SEWERAGE ACT)

May 4, 1967

In signing this bill, we are once again demonstrating our determi-
nation to put a stop to water pollution in the State of Maryland.

Since 1957, Maryland has joined the Federal Government in mak-
ing grants to communities for construction of sewage treatment plants.
Senate Bill 632 now materially increases that support by authorizing
a $50 million fund to assist local communities in supplying sewage
treatment works planned for construction during the next two years.

This fund provides support for the first half of a four-year program
that anticipates more than $164 million to be invested in the main
works needed to receive and cleanse municipal waste. The resources
of the communities will now be freed to pay for street sewers and
other badly needed elements of the local sewer systems.
