Upon a certification of suitable evidence from the Board of

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect June 1, 1981.

May 19, 1981
The Honorable James Clark, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 875.

This bill authorizes a State debt for the "Maryland
Eastern Shore Oncology Treatment Unit Loan of 1981."
Proceeds of the bonds are to be used to assist in
constructing and equipping a regional oncology unit at
Peninsula General Hospital Center in Salisbury.

House Bill 88, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 19, 1981, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Seriate Bill
875.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 881
