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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The phrase ‘unless otherwise ordered by the state board of deposits’ implies a situation where the board refuses to further recognize the bank as a state depository. Where no order is made by the board, and the bank submits a new bond which is approved, the bank enters upon a new term of four years as a depository. . . . Surety companies also may be perfectly sound when .the bond is executed, and during the four-year period may suffer great losses so as to impair their capital. It is this reason that the legislature evidently had in mind when it definitely limited the term of the bond to four years. While the statute requires the renewal of a bond, it clearly does not contemplate the continuance of the old bond. This is the construction placed upon the statute by the proper state officers and the board of deposits. Such a practical construction is of great weight and is oftentimes decisive.””

No warrant can be given to the treasurer in any event to exceed these specific limitations. ...””
