Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 41.

This bill authorizes the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore City to create a $1,700,000 debt for the purpose
of the "Fire Department" after further authorization by a
ordinance of the City Council and submission to the City
voters.

Senate Bill 28, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on March 26, 1979, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
41.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
