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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of the opinion that two expressions in the section under consideration preclude such construction; the first is ‘center lines of intersections’, which clearly indicates that the intersection referred to is such as would not be the mere extended portion of the road described; the other expression is ‘other roads’ which we construe to mean different roads from, in contradistinction to mere extended portions of, described roads.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Poynter v. Worth““ * * * the sponsors shall * * have prepared for them a map of that section of such public road which they desire to have improved. Such map shall show the .boundary lines of the road, the intersections with other roads and the terminal points on the road desired to be improved, which shall always be center lines of intersections with other roads.””
