The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 840.

This bill authorizes Washington County to issue general
obligation bonds to finance the costs of public facilities in an
amount not exceeding, in the aggregate, $10 million.

House Bill 1340, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 27, 1988, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 840.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
