Honorable Steny H. Hoyer

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 335.

This bill authorizes the creation of a Baltimore City
debt of up to $1,550,000 for the acquisition of and the
construction and equipping of Fire Department facilities.

House Bill 527, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on April 11, 1978, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill
335.

Sincerely,
Blair Lee III
Acting Governor

Senate Bill No. 339 - Baltimore City - Public Market
