It passed the Assembly on February 1, the Senate on February 7; and on February 10 it was approved by the Governor.

It remains a monument, if not to Bigler, at least to the legislature that passed it; while the name of the Lake will doubtless continue to be _Tahoe_ and its sometime former designation of _Bigler_ be forgotten." Now if Mark Twain really objected to the name Tahoe why did he not join the Biglerites and insist upon the preservation of that name?
On the Centennial Map of 1876 it was named "Lake Bigler or Lake Tahoe," showing that some one evidently was aware that, officially, it was still _Lake Bigler_.
And so, in fact, it is to this date, as far as _official_ action can make it so, and it is interesting to conjecture what the results might be were some malicious person, or some "legal-minded stickler for rigid adherence to the law," to bring suit against those whose deeds, titles, leases, or other documents declare it to be Lake Tahoe..
