remainder of the Bill would not be affected in any event. Baltimore v.
A. S. Abell Co., 218 Md. 273 (1958).

It is also true that the title of the Bill refers to the licensing of
scrap processors along with wreckers whereas the Bill actually does
not provide for the licensing of scrap processors. However, we do not
view this inaccurate limitation in the title as being misleading in the
constitutional sense, but rather mere surplusage. Pressman v. State
Tax Comm., 204 Md. 78 (1954).

We trust this information will be helpful to you.

Sincerely,

(s) Francis B. Burch,

Attorney General.

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 560 and am returning
it to you.

This bill would require the approval of four members of the
board rather than three in order for an applicant to be granted a
certificate of competency and be registered as a practical plumber.
It also provides for Senate confirmation of appointments to the Board
of Commissioners of Practical Plumbing. The Board of Commission-
ers of Practical Plumbing has expressed its disapproval of the bill and
has indicated that the present method of selection will produce the
most qualified members. I am in agreement with them, and I there-
fore am compelled to veto this measure.

Sincerely,

(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
