transfer of ownership, are only those amounts "as shown in the records of the
Department". Senate Bill 912, on the other hand, fails to add this clarifying language.

Because of the conflict in form between the two bills, and because House Bill
989 accomplishes the same basic purposes as Senate Bill 912, I have decided to
veto Senate Bill 912.

Honorable William S. James

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution, I have
today vetoed Senate Bill 952.

This bill authorizes a $70,000,000 State debt to provide grants for the
construction of sewage treatment plants.

House Bill 1268, which was enacted by the General Assembly and signed by me
on April 26, 1973, accomplishes the same purposes as Senate Bill 952.
