EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

May 8, 1961.

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

Dear Mr. Speaker:

I have today vetoed House Bill No. 694 and, in compliance with
Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution, I am returning
the Bill to you, along with my veto message.

This Bill was introduced by the Washington County Delegation,
and was originally designed to remove the buzzard from the list of
unprotected birds in this State and to also provide that the great
horned owl be placed on the list of unprotected birds in Washington
County. The Bill was amended to make the great horned owl an un-
protected bird in Garrett County also.

However, in drafting the amendment, a mistake was made in that
the title of the Bill does not comply with the body of the Bill. The
Attorney General has advised me that because of the above-mentioned
mistake the Bill is unconstitutional.

With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
