Dear Mr. Speaker:

I have today vetoed House Bill No. 741 and in accordance with
provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I
am returning the same to you along with my veto message.

House Bill No. 741 was designed to create a State debt in the amount
of $10,000,000 with the money to be used by the Maryland Port Au-
thority for acquisition of property and improvement to Port facilities.

Senate Bill No. 477, which was identical to House Bill No. 741, was
passed by both houses of the General Assembly and was signed into
law by me on April 24, 1961. Since the bills are exact duplicates, I
believe it is unnecessary to sign this particular House Bill.

With kindest regards, I remain

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.

Dear Mr. Speaker:

I have today vetoed House Bill No. 742 and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the State Constitution, I am
returning this bill to you along with my veto message.

House Bill No. 742 was designed to create a State debt in the amount
of $8,000,000, the money to be used by the Maryland Port Authority
for the expansion of its facilities. This particular bill is an exact dupli-
cate of Senate Bill No. 478, which was signed by me on April 24, 1961.
