Darst explained that it was comparatively simple to arrange the work needed for specific affairs, in contrast with opening the park for general public use daily. The WPA finished its main work on the park about July 5. It resumed activities there July 27, with a small force of men, under a $15,000 allotment. Principal jobs now going on are excavation for an athletic field and the building of walks. There was three and one-half years of delay in undertaking improvement of the site after the park, an attractively wooded tract of 69 acres, was presented to the city by C.

A. Tilles. After his death an additional 7.47 acres on the Lay road side, where he resides, will be given to the city. Tilles" made money years ago in racetrack and other enterprises and in real estate investment. In donating the park in 1932 he specified that it was to be particularly for the use of chil dren.

RRST OF 10 PAGEANTS TO BE GIVEN THURSDAY Separate Playground Performances in Lieu of Annual Central Show. The first of a series of ten pageants sponsored by the city recreation department will be given next Thursday, at 8 p. m. at Buder Community Center, Hickory and Ewing streets, Robert D.

In all, more than 1000 children have been selected for parts in the shows, adopted from popular fairy stories. Action will be in pantomine while details of the story are read over a public address system. A WPA orchestra will play each night.

Darst after the Board of Aldermen reconvenes Sept. 30, Darst Tsaid to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday. The park was a gift to the city. Lack of funds for maintenance has prevented the city from open ing this park to public use, al though development of the area has been practically completed by the WPA at a cost of nearly $300,000, Darst declared. The appropriation ordinance would meet needs for the remainder of the fiscal year, ending next April.

The fact that the WPA has not quite finished its extensive Improve ments, begun about two and three- quarters years ago, was another reason for delay, the director explained. He placed the time for winding up the work at a month or six weeks, but officials of the WPA, whose laborers work only limited periods, Indicated that several months might be needed. Maintenance equipment costing $5000 and a monthly payroll of $427 will be required for the park, Darst asserted. The payroll would include a keeper at $110 a month, two watchmen at $85 each, a gardener's helper at $4 a day and two laborers at $3.50 a day each.

STATE TO ACQUIRE COMPLETE CONTROL Rich Land Owners to Be' Paid for Mineral Rights and Collieries Are to Be Amalgamated. By the Associated Press. LONDON.

Aug. 13. Coal royalties, assailed by labor for half a century as the major cause of the miner's troubles, are on the way out in Great Britain. In four years, Britain's hugh coal supply will be nationalized as a result of the final passage of the Government's coal bill after months of debate and compromise between the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Bitterly as some Conservatives oppose compulsory combination of collieries in the interest of economy, they had to1 yield.

Compulsory combinations are an element of the law. Socialists were resolute in their opposition to the paying of huge nuns to the royalty owners, but they had to yield on this just as their Conservative opponents did on the other. The Government is to pay to take the coal mines out of the hands of the 5000 land owners and estates which have inherited it and administer it for the benefit of all the people of the British Isles. Three main purposes of the measures are: 1 Government purchase of privately owned royalties. 2 Voluntary and compulsory amalgamation of collieries.

3 Protection of consumers. Britain's coal business has been in the doldroms since the Great War, when the export market disappeared. Chamberlain Backing Plan. The average number of coal miners is 739,000 and the average annual production is 750,000,000 long tons. Thousands of coal workers went on relief before 1920 and conditions became so deplorable that they led to the disastrous General Strike in 1926.

The Government pledged solution of the coal problem in its program of 1935. Premier Neville Chamberlain has nursed the complicated measure carefully through Parliament for the last year. In 1886, a group of 60 members of Parliament joined in a memorial branding of the royalty system as a "gross hindrance to the mining industry." Pressure against the "landlord tax" on coal had increased to such an extent by 1919 that David Lloyd George set up a commission which was unanimous in recommending that coal royalties be nationalized. It was before this commission that Robert Smillie, the brilliant mine worker, appeared and challenged in debate the Duke of Northumberland, who at the time was receiving $470,000 annually in coal royalties. The Coal Commission of 1925 indorsed the theory of "unification of royalties." Further encouragement was given to the plan by the Coal Mines Reorganization Commission ot ivid.

The departmental com mittee which followed in 1934 in dorsed the same broad policy. Court Decision on Royalties. Joai royalties nave been pro tected since 1568, when the famous court decision, Queen vs. Northumberland, established the rule that mines of gold and silver belong to the King, but mines of coal to the owner of the surface of the land. Since that time, coal royalty fortunes' have grown and passed along from generation to generation.

Coal royalty is handled as oil royalties and dealt in as securities. To own the royalty is to own the coaL The Church of England is one of the principal beneficiaries from coal royalties, receiving through ecclesiastical commissioners the sum of $1,850,000 from coal accounts in a recent typical year. Most of the 4000 principal royalty holders are titled gentry. In an average year the Duke of Hamilton receives and the Marquis of Bute $546,000 in royalties. During 1937, the Master of the Rolls, with two assistants, fixed the sum of royalty payments.

The basis is 15 times the annual income, less 5 per cent for mineral rights duty and 5 per cent for the building of pithead baths. To $332,250 for Mines. When negotiations were joined, the royalty owners demanded In final form, the Government will pay out $20,350,000 annually for 15 years. The total bill is $332,250,000, which will retire all private royalties and give the title on all of Britain's visible and undiscovered coal to the nation. The proposed Coal Commission, which becomes the Government's supreme authority in the industry, will borrow at 3 1-3 per cent to get the huge sum with which to pay for the royalties and $50,000,000 in addition for expenses.

Payments will be made on the basis of valuation as of Jan.

1, 1939. A central valuation board will di-H vide Britain into coal regions for compensation purposes and allot the $332,250,000 pool. Regional boards will operate under the central board to assess the valuation of each holding. Provision has been made for appeal in the event any individual thinks he has been dealt with unfairly. On July 1, 1942, the Government will assume ownership, hand over the cash, and the great experiment will begin.

While the state will have complete control over the industry through its Coal Commission and the ultimate ownership of the coal, it will not actually engage in coal mining. Firms to Lease From State. Under the new act, private companies will get all of the coal out, but they will hold their leases from the state and the state will tell them how to operate in the best interests of the whole industry. As the Government explains it, the whole idea is to give the industry every opportunity of organizing itself for efficient production and the elimination of overlapping, wasteful competition, uneconomic dumping and the further development of organized marketing through central selling schemes. There was a bitter fight to pro- niDit compulsory consolidation of small companies.

Many members of Parliament were pressed by owners of plants to stave off the Government's desire to get uneco nomic individual operations together under one management and cut expenses. As a result, there will be no compulsory amalgamations until 1940 and Parliament must approve in each case. When the commission proposes to force companies to gether it must present the case to the Board of Trade, which would present the case to Parliament. If there is approval there, the recommendations would go to the Railway Canal Commission for exe cution. While the coal industrv will the principal beneficiary if the law does what its proponents expect it to, the public will get its reward in a smooth running industry which una oeen cnppiea ior 20 years.
