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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"The lots in the plat are each 50 feet wide (North and South), and 147 feet (East and West). There is a row of 30 lots bordering the east side of Beach Avenue (29 feet in width) while there is another row of 30 lots that border the west side of Pine Avenue, 30 feet in width. The east and west ends of these lots are contiguous. The two end lots on the southside are numbered 30 and 31, a total of 294 feet east and west. From the west side of Beach Avenue (running north and south) to the east side of Pine Street (also running north and south) is a distance of 363 feet. Each street is 1505 feet long—running from the north lots to the south lots."”

2. “"Appearing on the map, contiguous to and lying immediately south of lots 30 and 31 is an area marked `BEACH.' This area so marked is identified by a line that joins the line marking the east side of Pine Avenue and by another line on the west that is an extension of the west line marking Beach Avenue. These two lines extend south to the water's edge (Bay La Launch). There is another line running east and west along the water's edge that connects these two north and south lines. This marked and identified area between the two extended lines is the subject of this litigation."”

3. “"Respondent Walter Hoiles, when he approved the Bay View Terrace map or plat, knew about the [Climes] Addition and the division of the area into lots. He approved the engineer's work which obliterated the lots here in litigation (in [the Climes] Addition) and converted them into a `Beach' area. "Thereafter, he could not withdraw or cancel such dedication by a sale of these lots to respondents here on appeal; nor could he cancel out such dedication except in the manner provided by law. "”
