HARRY HUGHES, Governor

2283

Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 573.

This bill authorizes the creation of a State debt of
$2,000,000, for the Maryland Housing Rehabilitation Program-
Senate Bill 362, 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 House Bill
573.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
