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 1878.

This bill amends the Public Local Laws of Baltimore
City dealing with benefits for dislocated businesses.

Senate Bill 1095, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on April 28, 1981, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
1878.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
