BLAIR LEE III, Acting Governor                        3123

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 526.

This bill authorizes the creation of a Baltimore City

debt of up to $5,600,000 for certain purposes relating to

water systems.
Senate Bill 336, 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
526.

Sincerely,
Blair Lee III
Acting Governor
