The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 325.

This amended bill authorizes the Dorchester County Commissioners to abolish, by local
ordinance, the county dispensary system established by State law. If such an ordinance is
enacted the Office of the Comptroller and Department of Legislative Reference are to be
notified.

Senate Bill 469, which was passed by the General Assembly and will be signed by me on
May 25, 1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to
sign House Bill 325.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
