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 350.

This bill establishes the Montgomery County - Center on Domestic Violence Loan of
1995 to be used as a grant to the Department of Addiction, Victim, and Mental Health
Services of Montgomery County for renovation and construction of a center on domestic
violence in the County, to be used for inpatient and outpatient services.

Senate Bill 837, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 9,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 350.
