like everyone else using the Village Water. He said he was feeding 20
head of cows and 20 head of calves and he figured they drank 300 gallons

month. The Village Ordinance says that the minimum charge per month
would allow the user 20,000 gallons per month. Mr. Hensley took a Meter
reading during the Meeting and it showed that Mr. Magelby had used over
