Speaker of the House of Delegates

State House

Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

House Bill No. 358, introduced by the Montgomery and Prince
George's County delegations in the House of Delegates, has been
vetoed by me today. Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Consti-
tution requires me to return all vetoed bills to the House of origin.
Consequently, I am herein returning the same to you, along with my
reasons for vetoing this legislation.

During the recent session of the General Assembly, House Bill No.
332 was enacted by both Houses of the General Assembly, and on
April 28, 1959 was signed into law by me. This particular bill is now
Chapter 780 of the 1959 Laws of Maryland.

House Bill No. 332 is a recodification bill, and encompasses within
it the provisions contained in House Bill No. 358, as well as provisions
contained in several other bills now before me for my signature.

As a result of the enactment of House Bill No. 332, it would be
surplusage to place my signature on House Bill No. 358. Consequently,
I am vetoing this measure with the understanding that the provisions
provided in the same have already been taken care of in House Bill
No. 332.

Sincerely yours,

(S) J. MILLARD TAWES,

JMT/LS/db                                                                     Governor.
