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 78 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where the act in question is sanctioned by legislative authority, is solely for the public benefit, with no profit or emolument inuring to the municipality, and tends to benefit the public health and promote the welfare of the whole public, and has in it no element of private interest, it is governmental in its nature.””
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]hether the act performed is for the common good of all or for the special benefit or profit of the corporate entity.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““If, as in Austin [v. Mayor of Baltimore, 286 Md. 51 , 405 A.2d 255 (1979)] and [.Blueford ], the income was not adequate to maintain the landfill or if this income were barely adequate to cover expenses, we would agree that this landfill operation was a governmental function. On the other hand, if the income derived was in an amount substantially in excess of the County’s expenses for rent, operation and the like, so that the landfill was a real moneymaking proposition, it would be a proprietary func tion. Only a trial on its merits can make this determination.” (Emphasis supplied).”
