1928                                                    VETOES

Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution, I have
today vetoed House Bill 1432.

This bill provides for the creation and implementation of a Sanitary District in
Queen Anne's County.

House Bill 1610, which was enacted by the General Assembly and signed by me
on May 7, 1973, accomplishes the same purposes as House Bill 1432.

Therefore, it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill 1432.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel
Governor

House Bill No. 1531 - Cecil County Fishing Laws

AN ACT to add new Section 273(c) to Article 66C of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1970 Replacement Volume and 1972 Supplement), title "Natural
Resources," subtitle "Part 2. Tidal Waters," subheading "In General," to
follow immediately after Section 273(b) thereof, to permit gill net fishing in the
Elk River, in Cecil County, between any Friday at 12 o'clock midnight to the
following Sunday at 12 o'clock midnight.

June 1, 1973.

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 Constitution, I have
today vetoed House Bill 1531.

This bill exempts the Elk River in Cecil County from the provisions governing
gill net fishing from Friday midnight until Sunday midnight.

The Department of Natural Resources has urged that I veto House Bill 1531
because its language inadvertently extends this exemption far beyond the scope
apparently intended by the bill's sponsors. For the reasons given in the attached
copy of the Department's letter, which is to be considered a part of this message, I
have decided to veto House Bill 1531.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel
Governor
