Honorable John C. Luber
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

I am returning herewith, without my signature, House Bill No. 156.

This Bill is identical with Senate Bill No. 1, passed during the
Special Session of the General Assembly on March 8th, and which is
now Chapter 3 of the Acts of 1956.

Therefore, House Bill No. 156 is vetoed.

Sincerely,                             

(s) Theodore R. McKeldin,

Governor.
