Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today House Bill 939 and am returning
it to you.

This bill would reduce the total amount of debt which the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore are authorized to create under Chapter
1 of the Laws of Maryland of 1963. The bill is a duplicate of Senate
Bill 461, which has been signed and is now Chapter 575 of the 1968
Laws of Maryland.

Sincerely,
(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
