HARRY HUGHES, Governor

2261

Annapolis, Maryland 21104

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 40.

This bill authorizes the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore City to create a $7,300,000 debt for the purpose
of "Sewers and Drains" after further authorization by an
ordinance of the City Council and submission to the City
voters.

Senate Bill 27, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on March 26, 1979, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
40.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
