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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But to determine whether an agency serving the public is a ‘public utility’, recourse must be had to section 1 of the act, in which the terms used throughout the act are defined. By the amendment to section 1, the term ‘public utility’ was redefined so as to exclude municipally-owned plants. The section is unchanged and still applies to every ‘public utility’, but a municipally-owned plant is no longer a ‘public utility’ within the meaning of the act.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
