HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL
was always in our mind, and it is clear that in the areas which I have mentioned earlier, redevelopment of old buildings have rapidly taken place and new commercial/residential buildings have come up and therefore trades which are carried out and which could be offensive, and which were not offensive possibly in the old buildings before, are now very much factors in our lives. For this reason, we have adopted these changed by-laws, but on the other hand we are not driving them out business, because we are imposing certain conditions, hygienic conditions, under which they can operate and I think this is only for the public good.
The question was put.
The motion was carried with 19 votes for and 1 against. (The Chairman did not vote.)
FAREWELL TO MR. J. A. M. TINSON, SECRETARY, URBAN COUNCIL
CHAIRMAN (in English):-Mr. J. A. M. TINSON, Secretary of the Urban Council, is about to say farewell. Mr. TINSON is retiring from the Council for the second time. He first became Secretary in September 1965 and has since served a total of 14 years with great distinction. Members will want to express their appreciation for all the help that Mr. TINSON has given to the Council in his quiet, efficient manner and with unfailing courtesy. Members will also wish me to recall the special work done by Mr. TINSON when the Council set up these Chambers. A very great deal of thought was given to every piece of furniture and the colour schemes and Mr. TINSON devoted a tremendous amount of his time to this work as well. So, today, we wish Mr. TINSON abundant success and happiness and ask him also to convey these sentiments to Mrs. TINSON.
Mr. J. A. M. TINSON (in English):-Thank you, Sir.
ADJOURNMENT-4.45 p.m.
CHAIRMAN (in English): Now Council stands adjourned until Tuesday, 18 November 1980, at 4 p.m.
