48 Proposal to invest half a lakh of rupees. [March, 



office here), that this Patna monument was erected by the Council and 

 that the Court censured this expenditure of their money. 



The Proposal of the Council to extend the permission given of in- 

 vesting half a lakh of rupees of the Society's Fermanent Reserve Fund 

 in Municipal or Port Trust Debentures, so as to include the alternative 

 of fixed deposits in Calcutta Banks, was brought forward for consi- 

 deration. 



Mr. Tawney opposed the proposal as, in his opinion, it practically 

 amounted to lending the money of the Society without security. 



The Proposal was agreed to. 



Dr. J. H. Tull Walsh gave notice of the following proposal, which 

 he intends to bring forward at the next meeting of the Society. 



" That with a view to making the meetings of the Society more 

 " interesting to individual members, two sections be formed, A. — Litera- 

 " ture and Archaeology, etc., B. — Natural Sciences. That these sections 

 " have separate evenings for the holding of meetings and for the read- 

 " ing of papers on subjects interesting to the members of the respeC" 

 " tive sections."
