Creation of a State Debt - Community Mental Health Center

Components, Addiction Facilities, and Mental

Retardation Facilities

FOR the purpose of authorizing the creation of a State Debt
in the amount of $750,000, the proceeds to be used for
State grants to certain public and other nonprofit
Community Mental Health Center Components, Addiction
Facilities, and Mental Retardation Facilities in this
State for the construction, acquisition, renovation,
and or and/or equipping of community mental health
center components, addiction facilities, and mental

May 29, 1979
Honorable James Clark, Jr.
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 444.

This bill authorizes the creation of a State debt of
$75,000 to be used for State grants to certain public and
other nonprofit Community Mental Health Center Components,
Addiction Facilities, and Mental Retardation Facilities in
this State.

House Bill 673, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 29, 1979, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill
444.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
