This, it is believed, was killed at this spot, and The Call reiterated its evidence of the violation of the law by the Southern Pacific, : S This has now had its effect, and General Manager Kruttschnitt will have a system of safety gates -ted at this highly dangerous curve. In an in- view Mr. Kruttschnitt sald p “There is an optional feature to the franchise, and the company decided that it would take advantage of the option and keep the approach clear within the distance specified. TIf this not been done I am ignorant of in what way It has been violated. I have discussed the matter with Di- vislon Engineer Curtis, and he has told me that he does not belleve the Jumber piles there obstruct the view, and if there be a flagman’s house it is too small to be much of an obstruction. However, the company is now teady to put in 4 safety eystém, and the apparatus, including the gates, has T dered constructed in the East. It may have started already, and in ny cvent it will be erected in a few weeks. The approach is simildr to. that fn use on the roatl at West Oakland, which is thoroughly protected by gates.
