SPIRO T. AGNEW, Governor                      1669

This bill would authorize the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more to create a debt in an amount not to exceed eighty million
dollars. The measure is a duplicate of Senate Bill 445, which has
been signed into law and is now Chapter 560 of the 1968 Laws of
Maryland.

Sincerely,

(s) Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor.
