Tiverton, the third Newport County town interested in the high school proposal, will not have its special meeting until next The votes in th three owns will be on whether there shall ba a p-e- liminai-y survey undertaken by regional committees. This is the first stage in the regional proposal, as outlined in a bill passed by the General Assembly. The towns are not voting at this time on construction or financing of a school.

Proposals for this phase would not be brought forward until after the regional committees have done their spadewbrk. Portsmouth's: only action tomorrow would be to authorize formation of a committee. If authorized, there would be another special meeting, probably within a few weeks, to pick the taxpayers' choice of one member the committee. The other two would 'be named by the Town Council and by the School Committee. By specific statement the General Assembly in its bill, Portsmouth is to use printed ballots and keep its noils open for- six hours.

Not up Tor a vote tomorrow is an appropriation for the use of the regional committee, Eureka Chapter To Honor Founder Of Eastern Star Eureka. Chapter, O. E. S. of Portsmouth, will honor the founder of the-order, Robert Morris, at its meeting Monday night in Eureka Hall.

Joseph J. Morris Of 3.4 Berkeley Court. Middletown, who recently enlisted in the Air? taking basic training at Sampson Air Force BaSe', Geneva, N. Y. PENSION PLAN APPROVED ST.LOUIS CD--A proposal 5100-a-month pensions, without restrictions, for World War I veterans 60 years old or older, has been approved by the Marine Corp League.

A resolution, passed by the- organization at 32nd annual contention yesterday, directed the group's national leaders to seek legislation for such pensions. The resolution said that it is traditional that veterans' pensions be established and" liberalized ori the basis of disabilities and need which increase with age. if authorized. That appropriation would be considered at the second town meeting a member of the committee is elected. Middletown is going abou.t the matter a little differently, planning to take three.

steps at the one meeting tomorrow. If the regional committee is authorized, the taxpayers would then proceed to elect their member. Next, they would vote on the appropriation of 53,500 for the use of the regional committee in the next two years. Tiverton at its meeting next Wednesday will follow the same procedure as Middletown. Middletown.

has approximately 2,500 persons eligible to vote in tomorrow's meeting at Town Hall. There will be about 3,000 eligible in the election of town officers Nov. 8, but at the special financial town meeting, only taxpayers can vote. Portsmouth's complete eligibility list is about 2,700, of whom approximately 75 per cent are entitled to vote at the financial in the Henry F. Anthony School.

Would Form 9-Member Board' If each of the three towns proceeds to form three-member, regional high school district committees this fall, they would combine in a nine-member district board. Appropriations for' the board's expenses come from the individual towns, and may not exceed per high school pupil over a two-year period. The combined board would study the advisability of setting up a regional high school district, its organization, operation and control, the advisability of building a school or schools; the estimated cost and the manner of financing. No time limit is set on the board's deliberations. 'It-would a report of its findings and recommendations to the three Town Councils, including the form of a proposed agreement.

That agreement would then come before taxpayers for their. approval. Another enabling bill from the General Assembly would be needed for the actual establish: ment of a high school district. In other words, tomorrow's meetings are for the purpose of putting the preliminary planning process in motion. The school district planning board might never rea6h agreement on the establish- 'ment of a district, but favorable votes tomorrow and on Wednesday in Tiverton would authorize a thorough study to -be made of the whole school matter.

Middletown has fcvo other matters, not related to the school proposal. 1o consider tomorrow at. the meeting. One is a question of appropriating $1.825 from the town treasury to finance the construction sewers: in Dexter Street, where it' is desired to make a-link with the Newport sewer system at the terminal near the city's new Dr. Michael H.

Sullivan School. Sower Problem Because houses across the line on Middletown's end of Dexter Street, have no sewer main there has been'a seepage from- cesscools resulting in a deposit of raw sewage oh the eastern corner of the new school site. Asked by' Newport to hr'o correct the Middltown officials received the citv's permission, to make link with the Newpor.t line are', seeking the appropriation to carry 'out the work. other Issue before the town mee.tins is a. technical ratification of' tempor aiy financing of two' projects 'ip advance of bond sales.

The projects are the Rowland School addi- long since and the new fire, and highwa-'. da- partment; building on-Wyatt Road, which is nearly ready. The ratification would also allow the Council to continue renewing the temporary notes until', the bonds are sold. The only reasons for'votes on these matters tomorrow 'is that the First National Bank, of Boston, town- fiscal agents, requested through its attorneys that these technicalities be observed. Seeking to expedite issue of the bonds, the Town Coun-- cil.put the formal, ratifications on the warrant for tomorrow's meeting.
