              ITEM 77Q1(a) - AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRANT'S BY-LAWS

         The Trustees of the Registrant approved the following amendment to the
         bylaws on June 8, 2005. (new text is marked in capital letters):


                  Section 3.7. Voting; Proxies; Etc. Shares may be voted in
                  person or by proxy. THE PLACING OF A SHAREHOLDER'S NAME ON A
                  PROXY PURSUANT TO TELEPHONIC OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED
                  INSTRUCTIONS OBTAINED PURSUANT TO PROCEDURES REASONABLY
                  DESIGNED TO VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED BY SUCH
                  SHAREHOLDER SHALL CONSTITUTE EXECUTION OF SUCH PROXY BY OR ON
                  BEHALF OF SUCH SHAREHOLDER. When any Share is held jointly by
                  several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in
                  person or by proxy in respect of such Share unless at or prior
                  to exercise of the vote the Trustees receive a specific
                  written notice to the contrary from any one of them, but if
                  more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in
                  person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so
                  present disagree as to any vote cast, such vote shall not be
                  received in respect of such Share. A proxy purporting to be
                  executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed
                  valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the
                  burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.
