Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 611.

This bill alters the distribution of receipts from the
State's mile and half—mile race tracks.

Senate Bill 794, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 29, accomplishes the same
purpose in a more comprehensive fashion.

611.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
