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, today I have vetoed Senate Bill 882.

This bill authorizes a State debt for the "Kent County
Jail Loan of 1981." Proceeds of the bonds are to be used to
renovate and equip the Kent County Jail.

House Bill 797, 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 Senate Bill
882.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
