WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1351.

This bill authorizes the Dorchester County Commissioners to
sell real or leasehold property, without public sale, to any
volunteer fire company in the County for related services at
whatever consideration they deem proper for providing fire,
emergency, and supporting services, if the property is no longer
needed for public use.

Senate Bill 915, 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 House
Bill 1351.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

House Bill No. 1351

AN ACT concerning

to Dorchester County volunteer fire companies; and making
this Act an emergency measure.
