EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

June 1, 1973.

Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution,
I have today vetoed Senate Bill 441.

This bill increases the salaries of the supervisors of assessments in
Calvert and St. Mary's Counties.

House Bill 531, which was enacted by the General Assembly and signed
by me on May 24, 1973, generally provides for the State assumption of
the property assessment function and the transfer of supervisors of
assessments to State employment.

Specifically, Senate Bill 441 would place these supervisors in a salary
grade that will not exist on July 1, 1973, the effective date of House
Bill 531.

Because of the inconsistency between the two bills, Senate Bill 441
must be vetoed.

Sincerely,

MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.

Which was read.

Senate Bill No. 441—By Senators Hall and Bailey:
