EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

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 1147 and am returning it to you.

This bill would remove from the law the requirement that an operator of an oversized farm vehicle get a permit from the State Roads Commission before moving such equipment on a State highway. While some lessening of the present restriction is indicated to aid those affected, I do not believe that removal of the controls altogether is the best solution. Signed today was Senate Bill 643 which would allow a permit to be obtained for the period of one year. This represents a better balanced solution to the hardship and seems to be acceptable to most of the parties involved. I am therefore compelled to veto House Bill 1147.

Sincerely,

/s/ Spiro T. Agnew,

Governor. Which was read.

Upon motion of Senator Hughes, duly seconded, the said bill was made the special order for January 6, 1969, at 3:02 o'clock P.M.
