EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

May 4, 1961.

The Honorable Perry O. Wilkinson
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitu-
tion, I am returning to you House Bill No. 457 which has been vetoed
by me.

This Bill would require every vehicle registered and sold in this
State as a new vehicle after June 1, 1961, to be equipped with an
outside mirror on the operator's side of the vehicle.

Although I am in sympathy with the intended purpose of the Bill,
as a traffic safety measure, the requirement contained therein has far-
reaching ramifications which, in my opinion, require further study
before such a requirement should be enacted into law.

Accordingly, I feel compelled to veto this Bill, with the recommen-
dation, however, that the matter be referred to the Legislative Council
for study and consideration.

With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
