<p>Livery Stable Keepers — Restrictions — Consent of Property Owners — Ordinance—Definiteness. An ordinance prohibiting the keeping of a livery stable in any block in which two-thirds of the buildings are residences, “within two hundred feet of any such residence on either side of the street,” unless owners of a majority of the lots “in such block” consent, is not void for indefiniteness as to the blocks to be considered in determining the number of the residences; as it is clear that consent is to be obtained of the owners of the block in which the stable is to be located.</p> <p>Same — Validity—Municipal Corporations— Ordinances — Delegation of Legislative Powers. An ordinance prohibiting the keeping of a livery stable in a block in which two-thirds of the buildings are used for residence purposes, unless the owners of a majority of the lots in such block consent thereto, is not an unlawful delegation of the legislative powers of the city council.</p>
