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. ““If * * * the city shall make a legislative finding of fact, as recited in the body of the ordinance authorizing issuance of the bonds, that the governmental project is of such nature as to provide increased revenues to the city by reason of increased employment and resulting increased receipts from occupational license fees * * * then the city may pledge and covenant that it will cause to be deposited in said separate and special fund the receipts which may be definitely identified as accruing from such occupational license fees * * * by reason of employment in or directly related to the governmental project,” etc.”

2. ““It may be said that the basis of the allocation of the portion of occupational tax revenue collected from employees of the Center is that it is ‘new money,’ for it would not be received but for the location of the enterprise and its expected payroll of $6,000,000. Doubtless, some of these employees would be subject to the occupational tax anyhow by reason of other jobs in the city. But it is suggested that other persons would take their places in case they transferred to the Center.””
