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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * While the notice states the purpose of the election in general terms, it is nevertheless sufficient to put every voter in the district on inquiry, and taken in connection with the other record available in the district, referred to above, which was accessible to every voter, we think it was sufficient to inform the voters that there was to be an election, the time and place of the same, and also the purpose thereof. If additional information had been required by the electors, it could have been obtained by inquiry from the clerk, or from the chairman of the board. We therefore think there was substantial compliance with the statute as to giving the notice in this district.” (Italics ours.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Witham v. McNutt““Direction to give notice of such meeting or election comes to the school board of the district as a mandate from the district boundary board, and the directors have no discretion in the matter. There is no alternative but for the school directors to give notice of or call the special election as directed. In case of the organization of a union high school district, the duties of the school district officers differ in character from those where the authority for a special meeting or election emanates from the board of directors, as was the case in Riggs v. Polk County, 51 Or. 509 ( 95 Pac. 5 ).””
