* * * * * At last active measures are about being taken in reference to the terribleDead Man's Curve. Some weeks ago, it was said that it was to be done away with, and the carsrun through a tunnel made under Union Square. Nothing, however, has so far been done, and the people are getting tiredof risking their lives, to oblige a cable car company. At last the officers of the law have interfered, and the owners of theroad are being prosecuted, for having their cars run in such a mannerthat it... is a danger to citizens. The president of the company was called before the Grand Jury, and saidthat it was impossible to run the cars around that curve in any other waythan that which is in use at the present time. Several engineers who understood all about cable cars were then called. They said that if the company would put a short cable on the stretch ofroad around the curve, there need be no more danger. They said that agripman could stop his car or slow up on a short cable, but that with thelong cable, such as the company is now using, it is impossible for thegripman to have any control of his car while rounding the curve.
