this project. No part of the applicants' matching fund may
be provided from State funds either directly or indirectly.
No part of the fund may consist of real property, or in-kind
contributions, or funds expended prior to the effective date
of this Act. In case of any dispute as to what money or
assets may qualify as matching funds, the Board of Public
Works shall determine the matter, and the Board's decision
is final. Baltimore and Harford counties shall have until
June 1, 1983 to present evidence satisfactory to the Board
of Public Works that the matching fund will be provided. If
satisfactory evidence is presented, the Board shall certify
this fact to the State Treasurer, and the proceeds of the
loan shall be expended for the purposes provided in this
Act. If this evidence is not presented by June 1, 1983, the
proceeds of the loan shall be transferred to the Annuity
Bond Fund and applied to the debt service requirements of
the State.
(4) (5) There is hereby levied and imposed an annual
State tax on all assessable property in the State in rate
and amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest
on the bonds as and when due and until paid in full, such
principal to be discharged within fifteen years of the date
of issue of the bonds.
SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect June 1, 1981.
May 19, 1981
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, I have today vetoed House Bill 1841.
This bill authorizes a State debt for the "Jerico
Bridge Loan of 1981". Proceeds of the bonds are to be used
for the restoration and reconstruction of Jerico Bridge in
Baltimore and Harford Counties.
Senate Bill 952, 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
1841.
Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
