June 9, 1972.

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 265.

House Bill 265 amends the method of appointment of the mem-
bers of the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and pro-
vides for the members of the Board to be appointed by the Governor
upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene.

Senate Bill 581, which was enacted by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 26, 1972, transfers the State Board of
Veterinary Medical Examiners from the Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene to the newly created Department of Agriculture.
Senate Bill 581 further provides that members of the Board shall
be appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Sec-
retary of Agriculture. Because of the inconsistency between the
two bills, and because the enactment of Senate Bill 581 renders
House Bill 265 unnecessary, I have decided to veto House Bill 265.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.

House Bill No. 305—Jury Laws

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendements, Sections 19
(j) and 19(k) of Article 51 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1971 Supplement), title "Juries," correcting certain errors in the
laws relating generally to juries.

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 305.

This bill repeals an inconsistent provision in Article 51, Section
19, of the Annotated Code of Maryland dealing with the compensa-
tion of jurors in Dorchester County. Senate Bill 89, enacted by the
General Assembly and signed by me on May 26, 1972, accomplishes
the same purpose as House Bill 305. I have been advised by the
Attorney General that the effect of signing both Senate Bill 89 and
House Bill 305, because of the way each is worded, would be to
repeal completely the reference to payment of jurors in Dorchester
County; and the Attorney General has recommended that only one
bill be signed.
