¶1The court denied the application of the plaintiff for a temporary injunction restraining the defendants from building upon certain property within 30 feet of the street line, and he appeals.
¶2*412The application was heard upon the complaint and opposing affidavits. An ordinance of St. Paul, known as No. 5608, requires property owners in residence districts not to build within 30 feet of the property line. It is claimed by the defendants that this ordinance is unconstitutional. Further, they claim that the later zoning ordinance, No. 5840, changes the residential districts fixed by ordinance No. 5608. And in opposition to this view it is the contention of the plaintiff that the effect of section 18 of ordinance No. 5840, which is in some measure an interpretation clause, prevents a construction of the ordinance resulting in a change of residence districts, a contention which is far-reaching indeed.
¶3The record was perhaps such as to require a denial of the injunction; but in any event the court was right in denying -it in the exercise of a proper discretion. The determination of the final question may be important to many. It should not be made on so inexact a record as is before us. The case, before a review establishing a final precedent, should go to hearing on evidence.
¶4Order affirmed.
