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 50.

This emergency bill would revise the traders license fees in Cecil County.

House Bill 366, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 12,
1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 50.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
