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.
“Thirty days are allowed for a notice of complaint against such annexation; and where such complaint has been heard and dismissed, then thirty days must elapse before the order of annexation shall be made. This thirty days after the dismissal of the complaint is evidently in order to allow the remonstrants to appeal. There can be no other purpose for it in the legislative scheme.”
