Veto No. 9.

Veto No. 2.
THE GOVERNOR vETOES, THE MASSEY
SCHOOL BILL.
The Governor Friday returned to the
Senate unsigned the Massey school bill,
which provides for the payment in mon
ey OF one-fif5h of the revenue derived
from taxable property, to be used ex-
eIusiyely for free school purposes. The
veto was sustained.
To the Honorable the Senate,
/ return the bill prescribing the man
ner in which public free school funds
shall be collected, and requiring them to
be paid to the credit of the public free
school fund, and used only for public
free school purposes" without my ap-
prevail.
The principles of this bill were fully
discussed in the message I sent to the
House of Delegates, giving my reasons
for not approving bill 90 of that House,
imposing taxes on real and personal
property to meet the necessary expenses
the Government, for public free school
purposes, and to pay the interest on the
public debt" The reasons therein stat
ed for not approving that bill are equal
ly applicable to this, a copy of which
message [ most respectfully herewith
send to your honorable body.
However great and manifold may be
the blessings of the free-school system,
/ think this bill does not tend to gain
them, Nothing, it seems to me, ought
to be done WHICH will either make it
enemies or raise question with regard
to the justice or validity of the measures
adopted for its support and future
growth.
