Note 148 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Laws of California, 1867-68, Ch. 386. A lively account of the circumstances attending the passage of the Goat Island bill through the legislature was published by an old newspaper man, Sam Leake by name, in the San Francisco Bulletin, March 17 and 19, 1917. There is, however, no way of verifying this story, and it cannot be accepted on Mr. Leake’s authority alone.
