Honorable Marvin Mandel
Acting Speaker
House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Md.

Dear Mr. Mandel:

I have vetoed House Bill No. 792, and I am returning the same to
you along with my veto message as required by Article 2, Section 17,
of our Constitution.

This Bill is a Prince George's County local Bill, and relates to
certain duties to be performed by County Commissioners in connec-
tion with investigations and reports for transportation services in
that portion of the Maryland-Washington Regional District lying
within the County.

There are serious discrepancies between the title to the Bill, and
the body of the Bill. The Attorney General has advised me by letter
dated April 30th, that these infirmities raise serious questions as
to the constitutionality of the Bill, and he recommended that the
same be vetoed.

Because of this obvious inconsistency, I have found it necessary
to veto this Bill.

I am attaching, hereto, a copy of the Attorney General's letter
which is to be construed as a portion of my veto message.

With kindest personal regards, and good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
