Opinion is nation wide among real estate experts that this district is the premier industrial center of America, according to a message NJ. H. Me Dowell gave of the meeting last week of the National Realty Board to the local board Wednesday. He was the only speaker and gave to fellow mem bers an analysis of the meeting in Washington.
 Mir. Mcdowell said that the district where the steel corporation has such holdings was regarded as fortunate. He said the nation wide opinion among realty men was that the steel corpora tion was a good citizen" However, he said the erroneous opinion was to be heard in some places that all valuable properties here had been taken over by the larger concerns, which he said was untrue.
 Mir. Mcdowell said that members of the national association were frank enough to suggest that Pittsburg had received all the industrial development in its immediate territory and the opinion was general that future de- velopments of a large and lasting in- dustrial nature would be made in this district by the United States steel.
 The address of MT. Mcdowell, out lining methods of construction by other communities as well as different ways of handling intricate realty matters was of deep interest to those in that work.

An old ordinance which this one supersedes was more drastic than some merchants thought justifi- able and movement was started to all low thirty minutes parking.
