THEODORE R. MCKELDIN, GOVERNOR 1867

SENATE BILL NO. 454

May 6, 1953

Honorable George W. Della
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

I am returning Senate Bill No. 454 without my approval.
This bill would except a number of Counties from the pro-
visions of Sub-section C of Section 195 of Article 66C of the
Annotated Code of Maryland (1951 Edition), Title "Natural
Resources", Sub-title "Deer". At present this sub-section
makes it unlawful to use a dog in hunting deer and author-
izes the killing of a dog found pursuing deer. The bill
would wholly exempt certain Counties from the provisions of
this sub-section, while in other Counties, law enforcement
officials would be authorized to kill dogs pursuing deer.

I am advised by State game authorities that it would be
unwise to legalize the use of dogs for hunting deer in the
sub-divisions enumerated in the bill. Farmers and sports-
men have also requested veto of this bill.

Respectfully,

(s) THEODORE R. MCKELDIN,
TRMcK/A Governor
