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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the law of Kansas, neither misuse nor nonuse will bring about the reverter of property dedicated to a public use. In Gadarl v. City of Humboldt, 87 Kan. 41, 123 P. 764 , the court held that when title has become vested in a municipal corporation for the public benefit, it cannot be impaired by any inaction or delay on the part of public officials in devoting the property to the uses for which it has been dedicated.” (p. 641.)”
