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

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today House Bill 671 and am returning
it to you.

This bill removes the power of appointment of alcoholic beverage
inspectors from the Prince George's County Board of License Com-
missioners and places it in the County's Board of County Commis-
sioners. The effect of this would be to impair the control of the
License Commissioners over the selection of their own employees and
seems contrary to reasonably sound administration, particularly when
the employees concerned are engaged at the level of policy execution.

For this reason, and because the measure might encourage
similar action by other counties, without the benefit of any State-wide
criteria on which to base the action, I am compelled to veto the bill.

Sincerely yours,

(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
