Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Cardin:

May 29, 1979

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1420.

This bill authorizes the creation of a State debt of
$625,000 to be used for the renovation of the former Cannon
Shoe Company Building for use as instructional studios, and
for the renovation of studio classrooms at the Maryland
Institute, College of Art.

Senate Bill 538, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 29, 1979, accomplishes the
same purpose.

1420.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
