1446 VETOES.

It is, therefore, at least doubtful whether Senate Bill 60
could be of any effect, because it amends a section of the law
which has itself been repealed.

For the above reasons this bill will be vetoed.

MISCELLANEOUS COUNTY BILLS.

Chapter 77, House Bill 44, providing that the Election Su-
pervisors in Garrett County shall receive only half pay in
those years in which no election is held. The salaries paid
these Election Supervisors are very small, and there seems to
be no particular reason for making a special provision of this
kind for one county.

Chapter 164, House Bill 424, relating to the Police Justice
of Prince George's County. This bill has no enacting clause
and is invalid under the decisions of the Court of Appeals.

Chapter 34, House Bill 126, relating to Mount Rainier.
This bill was defectively drawn, and those interested requested
its veto. A proper bill dealing with the subject has been
passed and approved.

Chapter 380, House Bill 543, limiting the salaries of Judges
of the Orphans' Court for Washington County to $850 a year.
Article 4, Section 40 of the Constitution, provides that the
Judges of the Orphans' Courts shall be paid a per diem for
the time they are actually in session to be regulated by law,
and the Act of 1927, Chapter 549 fixes this per diem at $7. 50.
This bill is, therefore, unconstitutional.

Chapter 386, House Bill 516, making it unlawful for any
person not a citizen of Maryland to sell and deliver merchan-
dise in the Town of Elkton without a permit, except that a
permit shall not be required for the selling of certain kinds of
produce by persons who are taxable in Elkton. This bill in-
volves a discrimination against non-residents and is invalid
under the cases of Havre de Grace vs. Johnson, 143 Md. 601,
and State vs. Mercer, 132 Md. 263.

Chapter 123, House Bill 150. At present the Roads Engi-
neer of Allegany County is required to hold the degree of civil
engineer. House Bill 150 makes ten years practical experience
in civil engineering a sufficient qualification without any de-
gree. Three of the four road directors for the County and the
State Roads Commission consider this a step backward, and
advise me to veto the bill on the ground that the Roads Engi-
neer should hold a civil engineer's degree, particularly in view
