gridloreWHEREAS, we issued our decree ordering the citizens of San Francisco and Oakland to appropriate funds for the survey of a suspension bridge from Oakland Point via Goat Island; also for a tunnel; and to ascertain which is the best project; and whereas the said citizens have hitherto neglected to notice our said decree; and whereas we are determined our authority shall be fully respected; now, therefore, we do hereby command the arrest by the army of both the Boards of City Fathers if they persist in neglecting our decrees.
Given under our royal hand and seal at San Francisco, this 17th day of September, 1872.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors can sleep easy, free from fear that the Army might seize them, as they have voted 8-2 to rename the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge the Emperor Norton Bridge
His Imperial Majesty's will be done!
