J. MILLARD TAWES, GOVERNOR                          1501

by me today. Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution re-
quires me to return all vetoed bills to the House of origin. Conse-
quently, I am herein returning the same to you, along with my rea-
sons 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. 359, as well as pro-
visions 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. 359. 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.
