Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Conceding Ihe business covered by the provisions of this ordinance not to constitute a nuisance per se, and to stand upon different grounds from powder factories, street obstructions, and the like, still the case is made no better for petitioner. This is not a question of nuisance, per se, and the power to regulate is in no way dependent upon such conditions. Indeed, as to nuisances per so, the general laws of the state are ample to deal with them. But the business here involved may properly be classed with lively stables, laundries, soap and glue fa dories, etc., — a. class of business undertakings in the conduct of which police and sanitary regulations are made to a greater or less degree by every city in the country. And in this class of cases it is no defense to the validity of regulation ordinances to say, T am committing no nuisance, and I insist upon being heard before a court or jury upon that question of fact.’ In this class of cases a defendant has no such right To the extent that it was material in creating a. valid ordinance, we must assume that such question was decided by the municipal authorities, and decided against petitioner and all others similarly situated.””
