House Bill No. 189—People's Court of Prince George's County

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 108
(16) (a) of Article 52 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1963-
1964 Replacement Volume), title "Justices of the Peace," subtitle
"Trial Magistrates System," to increase the salary of the judges of
the People's Court of Prince George's County.

May 4, 1965.

Honorable Marvin Mandel
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I am returning herewith House Bill 189, together with my
veto message.

The bill, as originally introduced and as set forth in the title,
was designed "to increase the salary of the judges of the People's
Court of Prince George's County."

I am advised by a letter from the office of the Attorney General,
dated April 5, 1965, that although the bill creates an additional
judgeship in addition to increasing the salary of the judges of the
People's Court of Prince George's County, the new judgeship is not
referred to in the title. The letter points out that this bill is in con-
travention of Article III, Section 29 of the Constitution of Maryland
which provides in part that "every law enacted by the General
Assembly shall embrace but one subject, and that shall be described
in its title ..." and concludes by stating that the bill is uncon-
stitutional.

Attached is a copy of the Attorney General's opinion which is to
be included in my veto message. For reasons stated in this opinion,
I feel that I am compelled to veto this measure.

With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(S) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
