I agree with Dr. Trimen.

I think the Archaeological Commissioner should have a free hand in 

 spending the money on any work he considers worth, in accordance 

 with the object for which the money was subscribed. 



W. P. Ranasinha. 



The point is whether the setting up of the Buddhist Railing (as 

 desired by Mr. Bell) comes within the purview of the resolution, that 

 the fund collected should be devoted to " The excavation of the covered 

 chapels of the Mirisawetiya Dagaba and to further archaeological 

 research." 



The work of " setting up " is not " excavation " nor " furthering of 

 archaeological research." 



Apart from the resolution, I would like to see Mr. Bell's desire 

 realised. 



January 13, 1893. P. Ramanathan. 



As far as I can gather from these papers the Archaeological Commis- 

 sioner has as much power as this Council to dispose of the money in 

 question. 



A. de A. Seneviratne. 



I quite agree with Dr. Trimen.

Mr. Bell should be authorised to spend the balance as he proposes, 

 i.e., on the restoration of the Buddhist Railing.
