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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The action is purely one for alleged negligent construction and maintenance of the road by the state highway commission. There is no averment whatsoever of any negligence on the part of the county. Certainly the county cannot be held liable therefor. It is. responsible under the statute for the taking of and injury to property in the necessary and proper construction of 'a road by the commission, but nowhere is a right of action given against a county for improper or negligent use or the creation of a nuisance by the commission.’’’”
