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 Con-
stitution, I have vetoed today House Bill 523.

This bill would create a State Board to license and regulate, and
would otherwise modify laws applicable to, well drillers.

The attached copy of an opinion on the bill by the Attorney
General, which is to be considered a part of this message, although
it does not declare the bill totally lacking in form and legal sufficiency,
points out such substantial conflicts with associated laws and raises
such troublesome questions of interpretation that I feel compelled
to veto it.

This is not to say that I am opposed to, or even unsympathetic
toward, the principles involved in the measure; and I would hope that
a bill adequately meeting the points raised by the Attorney General
can be introduced in a future session of the General Assembly to
