Honorable Thomas Hunter Lowe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1272.

This bill amends the law relating to carnivals, bazaars and raffles
conducted by certain non-profit or charitable organizations.

House Bill 1272 was sponsored by the Charles County Delegation
to the General Assembly. Since the adjournment of the General
Assembly, the Charles County Delegation has written to me requesting
that the bill be vetoed. A copy of the Delegation's letter is attached
herewith, and is to be considered part of this message. Consequently,
I am vetoing House Bill 1272 at the request of the sponsors.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.

Letter from Charles County House Delegation on House Bill No. 1272

The Honorable Marvin Mandel
Governor of Maryland
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Governor Mandel:

The Charles County Delegation respectfully requests that you
veto House Bill 1272, as submitted by this delegation.

The bill that returned from the Senate is different in character
than the bill that was originally submitted and we feel that we cannot
accept the amended form.

Therefore, we feel it is in the best interest of those counties in-
volved to have the bill vetoed.

Sincerely,
/s/ Calvin L. Compton
