Honorable John Hanson Briscoe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 524.

This till authorizes the creation of a Baltimore City
debt of up to $7,500,000 for the Community Development
Program.

Senate Bill 340, 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 House Bill
524.
