These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The highway did not become defective in the described respects because it had 'become * * * destroyed or out of repair by reason' of any cause. These defects were inherent in the design or plan of the highway the county provided the public, and we con- elude that the present statute does not afford plaintiff a remedy for injuries proximately caused thereby.”
