Ordinances
Plain language of amended village ordinance allows billboards up to 80 square feet and 10 feet high. Restrictions in amended ordinance are not contrary to customary use. Compliance with local zoning regulations does not deprive an advertiser of its right to operate in business areas. Whether an advertiser finds it commercially advantageous to do so is not a relevant criterion in determining validity of an ordinance. Ordinance is not in violation of the Highway Advertising Control Act. (BIRKETT and BURKE, concurring.)
