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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We hold that the publication of the resolution prescribed in the ordinance is necessary in order to authorize the city to enforce, in any manner, the collection of the tax. The ordinances of the city are laws equally binding upon the city and the citizens. They cannot be dispensed with by the city when rights are' secured under them, or the exercise of power by the city is regulated by them, or power itself conferred by the charter, flows through them. The city, if these laws require preliminary proceedings or acts necessary to the acquisition of power or rights in particular cases, cannot dispense with their requirements.””
