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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although the act authorizing the organization of such board does not, in terms, require that it shall keep a record of its proceedings, yet such record is required from the nature of the duties imposed. The preparation of plans for laying out streets, the approval of plats, the establishment of a system of grades and of sewers, cannot rest in parol, or upon fugitive papers, but the law plainly implies such important acts shall be evidenced in the permanent form of a record.””
