VETOES

This bill authorizes Baltimore County, by law, to provide
property tax credits on agricultural land, not including any
improvements, located in an agricultural preservation district.

House Bill 273, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on April 29, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 281.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 281
