Supreme Court of North Carolina·Decided December 11, 1929·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

Bkogdebt, J.

Are ordinances of a municipality valid, which prohibit the erection of a filling station within 300 feet of a school building, when there are now two other filling stations of similar kind constructed and in operation within a distance of 300 feet from said building ?

In Bizzell v. Goldsboro, 192 N. C., 348, 135 S. E., 50, it was written: “The law does not permit the enjoyment of one’s property to depend upon the arbitrary or despotic will of officials, however well-meaning, or to restrict the individual’s right of property or lawful business without a general or uniform rule applicable to all alike.”
