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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... 'A municipal ordinance or by-law is a regulation of a general, permanent nature, enacted by the governing council of a municipal corporation....

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"`In determining whether a statutory provision is mandatory or directory in character, we have previously said that a number of factors must be examined. These include the objectives sought to be accomplished by the statute, its history, the consequences which would follow from the alternative interpretations, and whether a penalty is imposed for its violation. . . . We have also stated that directory statutes are those having requirements "which are not of the substance of things provided for." . . .'"”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under sec. 59.21(4), a deputy sheriff is to hold office "during the pleasure of the sheriff." Sub.
