Opinion filed September 19, 1984.

Raymond J. Gengler, of Gengler & Gengler, of Denver, Colorado, and Howard & Howard, of Mt. Vernon (G.W. Howard III, of counsel), for appellees.

Judgment affirmed.

JUSTICE HARRISON delivered the opinion of the court:

Appeal is taken from a declaratory judgment of the circuit court of Franklin County in which the court found a city ordinance regulating the drilling of oil wells violative of the constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Illinois. The issue presented is whether the judgment was contrary to law or the manifest weight of the evidence before the trial court.
