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.

“"* * * the predominant intent of the Act is to provide for consolidation of `all,' or `substantially all,' of the governmental and corporate functions of county and city governments into one new metropolitan government; it does not necessarily require that all functions or officers of the prior governments be obliterated, but leaves a large discretion in these matters to the drafters of the Metropolitan Charter. (See T.C.A. sec. 6-3702). * * * * * * "It is true that some of the functions of some of these officers were changed or transferred to other officers. For instance, some of the functions of the county court clerk and some of the functions of the tax assessor were changed or transferred to other officers. Winter v. Allen, 212 Tenn. 84 , 367 S.W.2d 785 , supra. Some of the duties and functions of the county trustee were likewise changed (Robinson v. Briley, 213 Tenn. 418 , 374 S.W.2d 382 ), and some of the duties of the sheriff were transferred to the chief of police; but none of these offices was abolished, and even the incumbents were continued in office. * * * * * * "* * * (sec. 8.202) provides for the department of metropolitan police and makes them responsible `for the preservation of public peace, prevention and detection of crime, apprehension of criminals, protection of personal and property rights, enforcement of the laws of the State' and of the Metropolitan Government."”
