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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our answer, to the questions propounded by the Court of Appeal is that the power of direction and control, of the Police Department of the City of Shreveport, is vested in the Superintendent of the Department of Public Safety, and so is the authority to appoint the officers of the Police Department of. lower rank than that of the Chief of Police, subject, however, to the rules and regulations of the Board of Civil Service Commissioners; and the Court of Appeal is instructed to enter a decree accordingly.””
