"Io the Honorable House of Repre-
sentatives:
"I have examined House resolve No.
| 645 entitled "Resolvc in favor of De-
| Forrest Kcyes," and respectfully re-
| turn the same herewith without my APP
| prevail. The resolve calls for quite
large sum of money to be paid from the
State treasury. Two previous Legisla-
| lures have declined to favorably con-
| slider the subject matter Of this re-
| solve. The legal or equitable obliga-
| ton of the State. if any exists, to ac-
knowledge the claim made by Mr..
| Kcycs is surrounded by much uncer
| tainty and difference of opinion, and
until that uncertainty can be removed
and those differences of opinion can
be better harmonized, l must respect
fully decline to sign the resolve.
| Signed) "BERT NJ. FERNALD,
| Governor of the State of Maine

| names arc called will answer yes; those
