Determination of how far out is enough, he said, will determine the physical extent of the grade separated transit system, and such points may well be the Bayshore Freeway and Golden Gate and Bay Bridge gateways into San Francisco, and the Eastshore Freeway and Highway gateways and the Broadway Tunnel gateway into Oakland. AVERAGE SPEED 5 Speed on the grade-separated mass rapid transit system should approximate that of one answer to America's critical tination.

This could be a terminal within five minutes walking on peaches, olives, prunes and other products of the fertile California soil.

S. 0 Ben and Mike Through the portals of Ben and Mike Cuckovich's Acme Grill, at 1616 San Pablo for 49 years have passed the foolish and the fabled, the poor and the rich, the old and the young. For nearly five decades the restaurant's long hall has resounded to the talk of merchants and attorneys and politicians and bankers; in its warm, old-fashioned interior famous Oakland names have congregated Mayors Frank K. Mott, John Davie, John Slavich, Police Chiefs James Drew, Don Marshall, Robert. Tracy; and so many other city executives that, for years, the Acme was known as The Unofficial City Hall." Always, close at hand, Ben or Mike beamed on their friends.

That's all ended, after 49 years. The Acme will no longer be operated by Ben and Mike Cuckovich, who in 1906 came to Oakland to open a restaurant, and remained to win the city's affection. The grill, probably the only Oakland restaurant to operate continuously under the same management for so long a period, changes hands on Tuesday. Ben and Mike have retired. They've earned their retirement, but Oaklanders can regret that, stepping into the Acme, Ben and Mike Cuckovich will no longer be there to greet them.
