1932 VETOES.

covered by Section 3 of Article 11A of the Constitution, which
provides:

"Every charter so formed shall provide for an elective legis-
lative body in which shall be vested the lawmaking power of
said city or county. Such legislative body in the City of Balti-
more shall be known as the City Council of the City of Balti-
more, and in any county shall be known as the County Council
of the County. The chief executive officer, or the presiding officer
of said legislative body, if such charter shall not provide for
the election of a chief executive officer, shall be known in the
City of Baltimore as Mayor of Baltimore, and in the county
as the President of the Council Council of the county, and
all references in the Constitution and laws of this State to the
Mayor of Baltimore and City Council of the City of Baltimore,
and to the President and County Commissioners of the coun-
ties shall be construed to refer to the Mayor of Baltimore and
the City Council of the City of Baltimore and to the President
and County Council herein provided for whenever such con-
struction would be reasonable. "

Therefore, I will veto House Bill No. 154 as unnecessary.

CHIROPODY

HOUSE BILL No. 430

AN ACT to add two new sections to Article 43 of the Anno-
tated Code of Maryland (1947 Supplement), title "Health",
sub-title "Chiropody", said new sections to be known as
Sections 434B and 434C, and to follow immediately after
Section 434A of said Article, and to repeal and re-enact,
with amendments, Section 435 of said Article, relating to
advertising by chiropodists and clarifying the definition of
chiropody.

This Bill expands the definition of chiropody to include
minor surgery and amputation of toes, a procedure only safe
in the hands of a trained surgeon.

I am advised that serious disease is often first manifested
in the foot, as for example diabetic gangrene, which would
require medical treatment of the patient rather than of the
foot.

Many practicing chiropodists have urged that the Bill be
not approved, and it has therefore been vetoed.
