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

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today Senate Bill 372 and am returning
it to you.

This bill would authorize the Department of Chesapeake Bay
Affairs to regulate the buying and selling of oysters and clams at
certain designated buying stations. I am informed by the Attorney
General that the bill is lacking in form and legal sufficiency. For the
reasons given in the attached copy of his opinion, which is to be
considered a part of this message, I am compelled to veto the measure.

Sincerely yours,

(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.

Dear Governor Agnew:

At your request, I have examined Senate Bill 372, in order to
determine whether this Bill meets minimum constitutional require-
ments as to form and legal sufficiency.
