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

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, today I have vetoed House Bill 1785.

This bill increases the original State debt
authorization for the Elderly Citizens Activities Centers
Improvements Loan of 1979 from $1,600,000 to $2,600,000.
Proceeds of the bonds are to be used as State grants to
local government agencies for converting surplus public
buildings into activity centers.

Senate Bill 105, 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 House Bill
1785.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
