Annapolis, Maryland, June 1, 1973.

Honorable Thomas Hunter Lowe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution,
I have today vetoed House Bill 1567.

This bill requires certain elected or appointed agencies in Garrett County
to use competitive bidding in making purchases in excess of $500.00.

Since the adjournment of the General Assembly, I have been informed
by the sponsor of House Bill 1567 that he feels this bill to be in need of
revision in order to clarify and define standards and procedures relating
to the process of competitive bidding, the financial responsibility of bidders,
and emergency purchases. The sponsor has therefore requested that this
bill be vetoed.

Consequently, I have decided to veto House Bill 1562 at the request of
the sponsor.

Sincerely,

MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.

House Bill No. 1567—By Delegate Bolden :

An Act to add new Section 1-1.(a) to the Garrett County Code (being
Article 12 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland (1930 Edition)),
