Opinion:
RANDOLPH, J.
This court, before at-
tempting to decide the questions involved on this appeal, certified to the honorable Supreme Court of Texas the two questions below set out. We submitted, along with such questions a substantial statement of the matters of fact, shown by the record. As it is customary with the Supreme Court to publish the certificate in full, we presume it will be done in this case (see 1 S.W.(2d.) 596), and therefore refer to the opinion of the Commission of Appeals, answering the questions propounded by us, for a statement of the case, making such additional statements when necessary to explain any holding.
We propounded the following, questions to the Supreme Court:
"First. Is the holding of your honorable court in the Spann Case applicable to an ordinance passed by a municipal corporation created under and by virtue of the 'home rule' amendment?
"Second. If not, then is the ordinance in question in this case void, because inconsistent with the bill of rights in our state Constitution?"
The Commission of Appeals, to whom the Supreme Court referred the questions for answer, acting through Judge Speer, an swered the first question in the affirmative, not deeming it necessary to answer the second. In answering the first question, however, the Commission of Appeals limited the effect of their holding, as follows:
"Of course, we are not deciding that the decision in the Spann Case [111 Tex. 357, 235 S. W. 515, 19 A. L. R. 1387] is decisive of the validity of the ordinance in the present case, for no such question is before us. The ordinance involved in the Spann Case and that involved in the present case and the facts of the two cases are different in very substantial respects, and these differences will enter into the final consideration of the validity of the ordinance in the present case. The effect of our answer merely is that the' decision of the question of the validity of the ordinance is not to be affected by the origin of the charter under the home rule, amendment [Const, art. 11, § 5]."
We take it that the Supreme Court only decides by its answer to our first question that the different origins of the charter-of the city of Dallas passed on in the Spann Case (111 Tex. 357, 235 S. W. 515, 19 A. L. R. 1387), and the charter here being considered in no wise renders the decision in the Spann Case inapplicable in this case, if the charter herein being considered violates any constitutional inhibition. We are therefore left to pass upon the provisions of the ordinance of the city of Wichita Palls here in question, and to determine whether or not that ordinance violates the constitutional Bill of Rights or any other constitutional inhibition.
We here set out in full the ordinance in question, as it is left out of the opinion of Judge Speer:
"Ordinance No. 419.
"Volume 3, page -.

The Constitution-of the United States is a grant of power from the states and people of this nation to the general government. The Constitution of this state is a limitation upon the power of the Legislature to enact laws, but such Legislature is at liberty to pass any act which is not in violation of some provision of the state Constitution; 1 Cooley's Constitutional Limitations, p. 11,177.
The "home-rule" amendment, section 5; article 11, of the state Constitution, provides that cities having more than 5,000 inhabitants may, by a majority vote of the qualified voters of said city, at an election held for that purpose, adopt or amend their charters, subject to such limitations as may be prescribed by the Legislature, and providing that no charter or any ordinance passed under said charter shall contain any provision inconsistent with the Constitution of the state or of the general laws enacted by the 'Legislature of the state.
That the limitation placed by the article upon the power granted under a "home rule" charter was not necessary, as the municipal Legislature did not have the power to pass an ordinance in conflict with the Constitution or laws of the state, at all events, but the purpose of this act was to vest in the municipal corporations a more extended power to enable them to safeguard the life, health, comfort, and property rights of the citizens of such municipalities as should choose to operate under its provisions, cannot be questioned.
There is nothing in the above ordinance that is in conflict with the general laws of the state; neither is there any conflict between the provisions of the ordinance in question and the Constitution, unless it is repugnant to the Bill of Righfs in the Constitution. This question we will now discuss.
Chief Justice Phillips, in the Spann Case, says:
"The police power is founded in public necessity, and only public necessity can justify its exercise. The result of its operation is naturally, in most instances, the abridgment of private rights. Private rights are never to be sacrificed to a greater extent than necessary. Therefore, the return for their sacrifice through the exercise of the police power should be the attainment of some public object of sufficient necessity and importance to justly warrant the exertion of the power.
"The public health, the public safety, and the public comfort are properly objects of this high importance; and private rights, under reasonable laws, must yield to their security.
"Since the right of the citizen to use his property as he chooses so long as he harms nobody, is an inherent and constitutional right, the police power cannot be invoked for the abridgment of a particular use of private property, unless such use reasonably endangers or threatens the public health, the public safety, the public comfort or welfare." Spann v. City of Dallas, 111 Tex. 357, 235 S. W. 515, 19 A. L. R. 1387.
The power to regulate the conduct and location of business and industrial plants has been, in recent years, more generally conceded by the courts of our country than formerly. The tremendous development of our cities has produced new conditions, and the problem of providing for health and comfort of the populations of such cities becomes more and more complex. and difficult. The best thought and the closest investigations of municipal authorities are taxed to the uttermost in the solution of such questions, and in determining the relief required from conditions that now threaten the congested population of such cities. We have learned many things. It may be that we have become overly critical, but, nevertheless, conditions which were borne with Indian stoicism 50 or 75 years ago have become intolerable in the present day because of our increased knowledge of what those conditions threaten.
The necessity created by new conditions must be taken into consideration by the courts. Regulations passed by municipal authorities that may have seemed unreasonable under old conditions may now be reasonably necessary under the new conditions that confront us. We cannot dispose of the questions now arising and confronting us every day by the application of rules that have become obsolete under such changed conditions.
Our courts have uniformly held that municipal authorities have the power to safeguard the health, comfort, and general welfare of their citizenship by such reasonable regulations as are necessary for that purpose.
This court, in the case of Scruggs v. Wheeler, 4 S.W.(2d) 616, in an opinion by Judge 1-Iall, has discussed, at some length, the question of such regulations, and it will not be necessary for us to recite the authorities therein cited, but a reference is here made to that opinion for such authorities.
We cite the opinion of Chief Justice Cooley, in the case of Gilbert v. Showerman, 23 Mich. 448-455, in which opinion that great jurist recognized that even the most offensive trade is allowed to be carried on in a remote place, but defines remote place as meaning remote from all other occupations or trades as would be specially injured or incommoded by its proximity.
The locality in which a particular business is attempted to be operated is recognized, in the case of Burditt v. Swenson, 17 Tex. 501, 67 Am. Dec. 665, as entering largely into the question as to whether or not that business is a nuisance, and certainly, if such business can be enjoined as a nuisance by reason of its locality, then it appears to u's that municipal authorities would have the power to pass regulatory measures which would be designed to prevent or anticipate the location of such nuisances at a place where their very presence would be objectionable.
If this is true, it cannot then be said, under the sanction of the law, that the regulation of a business, by requiring its location at a point where it will not cause discomfort or annoyance to people in their homes, is an unreasonable exercise of power on the part of such authorities.
The ordinance here in- question is not antagonistic or inimical to the Bill of Rights, in that it takes private property without due process of law. The ordinance, in every respect, safeguards the rights of the appellee, in that the machinery is provided whereby such rights may be ascertained and protected, and provision, as a last resort, is made for invoking the aid of the courts.
We cannot conceive of the law permitting the intrusion of an objectionable business in the heart of a residential district, where such intrusion has been expressly prohibited by a municipal ordinance, because the appellee claimed the right to use its property as it saw fit. People who have built their residences remote from business are entitled to the comfort of their homes undisturbed by, having such business enter into their near neighboi'hood, if such business interferes with their health or comfort.
The trial court, in his finding of facts, finds that the location and operation of said service station, as located, will render said neighborhood less desirable for residential purposes, in that, from {esthetic and other reasons, as shown by the record, these plaintiffs and a portion of the general public do not like to have business establishments located and conducted adjacent to, or in the neighborhood of, their homes, and further finds that the erection of said station and the conduct of said business by the defendant will, as above stated, depreciate the value of this property for residence purposes at least 20 per cent., and that the individual plaintiffs will sustain such a loss by the location and operation of said business at said point.
To us, this finding is significant. While we are not saying that the mere depreciation in the value of property will entitle a party to an injunction, yet it is a significant fact that such property for residential purposes loses largely in value by reason of the proximity of the filling station. Why- is this ? Evidently because it interferes with the comfort and convenience of those who reside on such homestead property, and thereby renders it less desirable for a home. As stated, parties building their homes away'from the business section of a city, in order io enjoy the peace and quiet of a residential section, away from the bustle of business, are deprived of the use of their homek, according to the finding of the trial court — at least, it is rendered so much less desirable. A man who has -built his home under such conditions has the right to continue in its use without the infliction of a filling station in near proximity to his property.
The trial court finds that there will be a small increase in the hazards to pedestrians using the sidewalks adjacent to the filling station, and that there will be no material obnoxious odors or fumes escaping from said service station, except such as commonly escape from all well-operated service stations, and that there will be some extra hazard to the school children or other pedestrians who pass the premises on the way to school.
These very findings enter into the right of the residence owner to the protection of the ordinance, and render such ordinance a reasonable regulation.
As sustaining the views we have expressed above, we cite Village of Euclid, Ohio, v. Ambler Realty Co., 272 U. S. 365, 47 S. Ct. 114, 71 L. Ed. 303.
We have concluded, therefore, that the ordinance here in question is a reasonable regulation, affording the protection to the residences of the citizens of Wichita Falls from the intrusion of the businesses prohibited by said ordinance, and reverse the judgment -of the trial court, and here remand this cause to the district court of Wichita county, with instructions to that court to issue its permanent writ of injunction, as prayed for in plaintiff's petition in this cause, and that said court also enter its order setting aside the former order granted by it, issuing ai permanent injunction in favor of defendant and against the plaintiff.
