of Baltimore City and providing for the manner of filling such
judgeship.

April 7, 1964.

Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

I have today vetoed Senate Bill 182, passed during the 1964
regular session of the General Assembly, and, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the Constitution, I am returning
this bill to you, along with my veto message.

This bill pertains to the creation of an additional judgeship on
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City.

The Attorney General ruled that this bill was local in nature and,
consequently, unconstitutional. During the special session, which
followed the regular session, a local bill was introduced and passed
covering this same subject matter. This bill was Senate Bill 23, which
I have signed and is now Chapter 18 of the Acts of 1964.

With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
