It does not amount to a prohibition of the business, nor was it necessary to show that the business, as conducted amounted to a nuisance before it was subject to the provisions of this ordinance regulating it. The power to regulate is expressly given by the statute and reasonably includes, as already said. the right to limit and confine the operation of such business to certain territory and to prohibit the carrying of it on in certain other territory, which the city council, by the authority of the State was given the power to select in the exercise of a reasonable discretion. The power having been vested in the city and duly exercised by its council in the passage of the ordinance, the question is settled thereby for the necessity of the regulation. It is not unreasonable or an undue restraint upon a lawful trade or business nor an improper restraint upon the lawful and beneficial use of private property.
It is contended further that there are other ordinances, requiring the securing of a permit from certain city officials, before a livery stable business can be conducted in other portions of the city, outside of this restricted limit, or district, and that, such ordinances with the probable action of the city officers thereunder and this ordinance, making such restrictions, amount to a prohibition of the business in the entire city.

Neither do we think it provides an arbitrary or unjust classification of business for the purpose of regulation. The city council doubtless passed the ordinance to meet and remedy a condition actually existing and if it be conceded that it had power to regulate likewise "sales stables" and if they can not be reasonably included within the terms "livery stables" as a business usually conducted with and incidental thereto, still there is a discretion left to the council in
