Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
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 42.

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

Senate Bill 29, 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
42.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
