SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                      1667

May 7, 1968.

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 962 and am returning
it to you.

This bill would authorize the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more to create a debt in the amount of one million, two hundred
thousand dollars. The measure is a duplicate of Senate Bill 457 which
has been signed and is now Chapter 572 of the 1968 Laws of Mary-
land.

Sincerely,
(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
