ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR               1457

SPECIAL PENSION UNDER TEACHERS' RETIRE-
MENT SYSTEM.

(Chapter 490, Senate Bill No. 341)

This bill recites the case of a lady who taught in the public
schools of St. Mary's County for a great many years. When
the Teachers' Retirement Act was passed in 1927 this lady
had not applied for and was not receiving one of the old four
hundred ($400. 00) dollar pensions and she was no longer in'
the service.

The bill authorizes the Board of Trustees of the Teachers'
Retirement System to pay her the pension of four hundred
($400. 00) dollars a year, which she would have received
under the old law had she applied for the same.

This particular case appears to be an appealing one. At

exceptions.

For these reasons, the bill will be vetoed.

It is possible that the Board of Trustees of the Teachers'
Retirement System may be able to work out some relief for the
lady in question under the general law.

(Chapter 421, Senate Bill No. 356)

This bill seeks to amend Section 106, Article 81 of the
Code, by striking out the provisions against the calculation of
the collateral inheritance tax on any increase in the value of
a decedent's estate occurring after the date of death.

I am advised that under not only the Federal laws, but those
of all the States, it is the uniform practice to use the value of
an. estate determined as of the date of death as the basis for
tax calculation. The aforegoing section of Article 81 was
passed by the Legislature of 1927 for the purpose of bringing
the law of Maryland into uniformity in this respect with the
