18 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [July 30
where all alcoholic beverages must be purchased from the county liquor
dispensary. I can see no valid reason for drawing such a distinction. There
is no substantial evidence that conditions in that one county, from the
point of view of the stated legislative objectives, are significantly different
from the rest of the State.
For the foregoing reasons, I have decided to veto House Bill 678.
Sincerely,
MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.
Read and journalized.
House Bill No. 678—By Delegates Boozer, Rush, Schirano, Dabrowski,
Bonvegna, Heffner, Merryweather, Murphy, Athey, Randolph, Silk,

and Peters:
An Act to add new Section 109 (c-2) to Article 2B of the Annotated Code
of Maryland (1968 Replacement Volume), title "Alcoholic Beverages," sub-
title "Restrictions upon Licensees," to follow immediately after Section
109(c-l) thereof, stating the legislative intent of the General Assembly in
the enactment of this Act; providing for the prohibition of sales by retail
dealers below cost; providing for additional fees for the administration and
enforcement of this Act; providing a penalty for failing to comply with
the provisions of this Act; and generally amending the laws concerning
