Attempt To Change Routing Of Highway No 10
W G FergusonMontanans Inc said the National Association of Highway Officials will be asked at the December Dallas meeting to reroute Highway 10 to connect with Chicago. The current cross continental route ends at Manitowoc and Ludington, making it less useful for Chicago travelers. Ferguson notes the windfall if the west links to Chicago, with D A McKinnon state highway engineer preparing recommendations for the designation change. He also quips he is a damn fool cowboy citing a separate matter about Willis.
