(a) to by-law 10, empowering the Council to waive or reduce the normal fees in exceptional cases where a person sponsored and recommended by the Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Association is unable due to his financial circumstances to afford the normal fees: and

(b) adding a new by-law making provision for prosecutions to be brought

in the name of the Urban Council.
