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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The mechanic’s lien law requires that a contract for material, labor, etc., for the improvement of real property, shall be made with the owner thereof' or his agent. A tenant, as such, has no power to contract for labor or material so as to affect with a mechanic’s lien the real property leased to him.” Citing Waterman v. Stout, 38 Neb. 396 .”
