Those enterprises which ordinarily might in human experience be expected to be undertaken for profit or benefit to the property interests of private promoters, as distinguished from those things which primarily and preponderantly merely facilitate the essential functions of government. State v Froehlich, 115 Wis 32, 91 NW 115.
The term, as used in a constitutional provision forbidding the state to engage in such works, is not to be construed as limited only to channels of trade and commerce, such as canals, turnpikes, railroads, and the like, although, in order to come within this provision, the improvement must be of a more or less fixed and permanent character. State ex rel. Wilkinson v Murphy, 237 Ala 332, 186 So 487, 121 ALR 283.
