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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court instructed in the oral charge and written charges that Bessemer road at the place of collision was a boulevard, and subject to the laws governing boulevards, and there was no exception by plaintiff to such instruction. . . . When a city passes an ordinance, the presumption arises, without evidence to the contrary, that the municipality did what was necessary to make that ordinance valid. . . . That is to say, when an ordinance designates a highway a boulevard and places a sign or warning of its character and effect thereon, the mere temporary removal or destruction of such sign at a given point does not change the character of such highway.” (p. 22.)”
