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 942.

This bill alters the salaries of the judges of the
Orphans' Court for Baltimore County and establishes that
these salary alterations does not affect the incumbent
judges.

Senate Bill 464, 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
House Bill 942.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
