"Public Education," subtitle "Chapter 2. Formation of Boards,"

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 455, 1965 Session, which
has been vetoed by me today.

The Bill would substantially alter the present law relating to
appointments to the Board of Education of Calvert County by re-
quiring that three of the five members of the Board be appointed
as representative of the three election districts in the County and the
other two members be appointed at large, as well as providing for
certain requirements concerning the political affiliation of the ap-
pointees.

Although I am always reluctant to veto a local legislative meas-
ure, I have been requested to do so by one of the two members of
the Calvert County Delegation in the House of Delegates and by
several prominent citizens of that County who are interested in the
County school system. They point out that this Bill constitutes a
rather wide departure from the present requirements relating to the
appointment of school board members and they strongly urge that
the entire subject matter of the Bill deserves further study before
its enactment into law.

In view of the foregoing, I have concluded to veto House Bill 455.
With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(s) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.

Baltimore City," to increase the jurisdiction of said Court, to correct

relating generally to the division of criminal jurisdiction in Balti-
