General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Montello Salt Company v. Utah No. 136 Argued April 21, 1911 Decided May 29, 1911 221 U.S. 452
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF UTAH
Syllabus
The words "and including" following a description do not necessarily mean "in addition to," but may refer to a part of the thing described.
The words "110,000 acres of land . . . and including all the saline lands in the state" as used in § 8 of the Utah Enabling Act are not to be construed as a grant of such salines in addition to the 110,000 acres, but simply as conferring on the state the right, which it would not otherwise have, of including saline lands within its selections for the 110,000 acres.
This construction is in harmony with the uniform policy of Congress in connection with grants to the states of saline lands.
34 Utah 458 reversed.
The facts, which involve the construction of § 8 of the Utah Enabling Act and the effect to be given to the words "and including all saline lands in the state" in connection with the grant of public lands for the University of Utah, are stated in the opinion.
