(5) Prior to the payment of any funds under the
provisions of this Act for the purposes set forth in Section
1(3) above, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Mary's
County shall provide at least an equal and, matching fund of
$100,000. No part of an applicant's matching fund may be
provided, either directly or indirectly, from funds of the
State, whether appropriated or unappropriated. No part of
the fund may consist of real property, 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. The Board of County Commissioners of St. Mary's
County has until June 1, 1984 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, 1984 the proceeds of the loan shall be
applied to the purposes authorized in Article 78A, § 3 of
the Code.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect June 1, 1982.

June 1, 1982
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 991.

This bill authorizes the creation of a State Debt to be
used to assist in the construction and renovation of the St.
Mary's County Jail.

House Bill 1054, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 991.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
