        "text": "BeowN, J\".\nThe plaintiff seeks to enjoin defendant until the final hearing of this cause from establishing a public supply station for automobiles on a lot near plaintiff\u2019s residence property. The judge dissolved the temporary restraining order and refused an injunction to the hearing, but required defendant not to store over 1,500 gallons of gasoline in its 8,000-gallon tank at one time. \"Whereupon defendant complied with the order and installed two 1,000-gallon tanks, instead of the 8,000-gallon tank. 'Defendant purposes to obey the order by storing 1,500 gallons in the two 1,000-gallon tanks.\nAutomobiles are of such general use that they have become a part of the daily life of our people in business as well as for pleasure. Public garages and supply stations are essential and cannot well be dispensed with. The establishment of such public conveniences even in residential sections of cities and towns have been held not to be a nuisance per se. Sheman v. Lexington, 128 N. Y., 681. It has been further held that the storage of gasoline in suitable tanks set well down in the earth does not constitute a nuisance per se. Harper v. Standard Oil Co., 78 Mo. App., 338; Cleveland v. Gaslight Co., 20 N. J. Eq., 201.\nIt is a general rule that where the thing complained of is not a nuisance per se, but may or may not become so, according to circumstances, and the injury apprehended is eventual or contingent, equity will not interfere. Berger v. Smith, 160 N. C., 208; Chambers v. Cramer, 54 L. R. A., 542.\nThe defendant\u2019s supply station'has not been declared to be a nuisance by the verdict of a jury upon final hearing, and in the meantime we are of opinion that the rights of plaintiff have been duly safeguarded by the order made.\nAffirmed.",
