mission out of road construction Bonds. It also gives the
State Roads Commission the right, if they so desire, to make
this a toll facility.

This Bill if enacted into Law would completely upset the
entire coordinated planning of the State Roads Commission.
During the recent session of the Legislature other Bills were
introduced which had they passed would have made it manda-
tory for the State Roads Commission to take over inadequate
existing County roads, build them up to State standards, and
then take same into the State System for perpetual maintenance
with the cost of these projects to be defrayed from State Roads
Commission revenue without any participation whatsoever
from Motor Vehicle Revenue money allocated to the various
Counties,

There was one such Bill introduced in Garrett County; one
in Somerset County; one in Anne Arundel County; and one in
Calvert County. In all four cases these Bills failed in passage.

The State Roads Commission is charged with the respon-
sibility for planning, constructing and maintaining our State
Highway System; this Bill I feel would hamper them in the
discharge of these duties. Therefore, I have returned the Bill
without my approval.

Respectfully,

THEODORE R. MCKELDIN,

Governor

The proposed statute does not have the very limited effect
indicated by its title, but to the contrary affects all legal
notices of any character which may be ordered by any judge,
justice, commissioner or auditor to be published in Baltimore
City, and eliminates the requirement that such notices shall
