VETOES

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1299.

This bill authorizes Baltimore City to acquire certain land
and property, subject to a certain condition, by eminent domain
for or in connection with the industrial and economic growth of
the city.

Senate Bill 740,. which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 13, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1299.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1299

AN ACT concerning

Baltimore City - General Powers

FOR the purpose of authorizing Baltimore City to acquire certain

eminent domain for or in connection with the industrial and
economic growth of the city; providing for the termination
of this Act; and providing that the abrogation of this Act
does not apply to suits filed on or before a certain date.
