1758                                       Vetoes

the provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution,
I am returning this bill to you along with my veto message.

Senate Bill No. 305 is a local bill that pertains only to Calvert
County. The Sponsor of the bill, Senator Edward T. Hall, has advised
my office that after this bill was approved by both houses of the
General Assembly there was some question, lodged by the State De-
partment of Health, relative to the wisdom of this legislation. Senator
Hall has advised me that after consultation with the Health Depart-
ment, a new bill was drawn, known as Senate Bill No. 571, approved
by both houses of the General Assembly and was subsequently signed
by me. Because of this, the Senator has requested that I veto this
particular bill.

In compliance with this request, I have exercised my right to veto.
With kindest regards, I remain

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.

Dear Mr. President:

I have today vetoed Senate Bill No. 459 and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I
am returning this bill to you along with my veto message.

This office was advised by the Attorney General by letter dated
April 25, 1961, that in the opinion of that office, Senate Bill No. 459
does not meet with the provisions of the Maryland Constitution. That
particular letter is attached to this veto message and is intended to
be a part of it.
