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
302.

This bill authorizes Baltimore City to borrow
$1,800,000 for the improvement of public buildings.

House Bill 562, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on April 9, 1974, accomplishes
the same purpose as Senate Bill 302.

Therefore, it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 302.
