 suits from the issuance of state highway bonds, including dates of issuance, rate of interest, dates of retirement, annual in come from automobile taxes miles of roads that could be built annually, cost of maintenance and balance of automobile li- cense fund after paying interest and maintenance
 It IS an interesting statistical document and should be in the hands of every voter and good roads advocate in the state.
 Under the plan outlined by Mr. Keller, in the event the proposed $25,0OO.00O road Z bond issue goes through, S2,000,0 worth of bonds would be issued annually in the years 1920-1930, both included, and s3,00O,- 900 in 1881. This would make total of S25,000,000.
 Bonds would be retired in the following order: 1924, S3,00O00; 1925-1931, 1883, l936 and 1940, each S1,000000 and S2000,- GOO in each of the years 1882, 1885, 1937, 1888, 1889 and 1941. The year 1925 is left blank
 Total interest paid on the bonds from the date of the first issue to 1940 would be $10,450,000.
 Income from automobile licenses, MT. Keller estimates at S44 627 ,000, beginning with 1920 and ending with 1940, leaving balance, after the payment of interest, of S34,177O00.
 Twenty-Five hundred miles of highways would be built; cost of maintenance for the 20 years would be S8,140,000, and the balance at the end of twenty years after payment of annual interest, taking up the bonds, building 2500 miles of highway and maintaining it during that period would be S1,037, ,000
 MT. Keller bases this estimate on 50 per cent increase in the automobile license fund in 1920 and a 10 per cent increase an- nually thereafter during the next twelve years, and no increase thereafter The past eight years, MT Keller states, the av- craze annual increase has been 38 per cent.
 MT. Keller's estimates have been pub lshed in pamphlet form. In presenting them for the publics information he asks and answers these questions:
 How can S25, 100000 in bonds be taken care of by the state?
 How can the interest be paid?
 How can the bonds be retired?
 How can the roads be maintained?
 Answers: At the end of 1920, interest on S2.000,000 of bonds at 5 per cent will be S100,000; estimated amount of income from auto tax, S894, ,700 Interest and main tenance, S140000. Passed to sinking fund, S754,700.
 At the end of 1924 interest on S10,0O0,000 of bonds, S500,O00 Amount in sinking fund, $2,752,0 ,000 Placed in sinking fund.- in 1924, S609,7O Total in sinking fund, S3,361 ,700 Bonds retired, S3,0O00O0. Bal ance in sinking fund, S361 ,000.
 At the end of 1881, total bonds issued, $25,O0,000 Total bonds retired S9,00O,00O. Balance bonds outstanding, S16,OOO,OO0 Income from auto tax, S2,500,00O annual ly; maintenance fund, S50O00O; bonds re- tired at rate of one to two millions annu- ally.
 At end of 1941, all bonds retired, with, balance left in sinking fund of S1 O37 0OO

Many Plan to Attend
the Iris Club Dance

Indications are that the Iris Club
dance, to be held at Willa-Villa to-
morrow night, will be one of the
most enjoyable dances of the sum-
mer. The committee in charge is
leaving nothing undone to assure
the complete success of the event,
and it is predicted that when the
music begins at $50 o'clock one OF
the most attractive social functions
of the summer will have started.
The committee on decorations Is
at work to-day Transforming the
dance pavilion into a riot of attrac-
tive colors. Something new in dec
orations is promised, as the COM
mittee is giving special attention to
this phase of the preparations for
the dance. Dancing will continue
until 1880, and special cars will be
on hand after the dance. The
Sourbeer orchestra will furnish mu-
sic and the program will be fea-
tured by the Introduction of a num-
Der of brand new hits which are
destined to add to the ''jazziness Of
the band.

One local lad who has acquired
marked success in the musical world
is Eric I. Evans. son of Professor and
Mrs. Llewellyn Evans, 256 Verbeke
street. Although but II years of age,
he is already the possessor of an en-
viable record, being master of the
flute and piccolo. He has played
with every band in this city and
vicinity, and has been a member of
the Kurzenknabe. Updegrove and Le-
mer orchestras. At various times he
has appeared on the Wednesday Club
concert programs always receiving
favorable comment.
A little over a year ago he left the
city to play with the Reading Sym
phony Orchestra, under Fahrbach.
He next went to Shamokin where he
played in an orchestra led by Beck,
of Cleveland. When the Penn Harris
opened he was the only local musici-
an to be engaged for the entire first
week.
In February. Mr.. Evans received
a communication from j. w. f. Le-
man. conductor of the Leman Sym
phony Orchestra, playing on the
Steel Pier, Atlantic City. The out
come was that he left almost imme-
diatelly for that place. and on the
expiration of his first contract, on the
18th of this month, entered on a sec
ond one, and has been playing before
large audiences, in number of in
stances as a soloist. Mr.. Leman's
orchestra is composed of So players,
all musicians of the first rank. One
remarkable feature of the organiza=
tion is the fact that no rehearsals
are held. Three concerts are given
daily. all without any previous prep
nration.
At present, Hans Schlagel, of the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra,
the famous flute soloist, is playing
with the Leman Orchestra, and it is
with such artists that Mr.. Evans is
associated in his daily work. He has
received many glowing tributes from
critics and his future outlook is a
brilliant one.
