Wisconsin Highway Commission Plans Weekly Tourist Maps
The Wisconsin Highway Commission starts a Highway Information Service for the tourist season. For a $10 printing cost, hotels, garages, businesses, or individuals get a weekly blue print map showing trunk highways, lakes, streams, points of interest, and road surfacing. It notes open or closed construction, detours, and weekly updates. Offices are listed with phone numbers for direct information. Map holders must provide a frame and keep maps current or the service ends. It aims to reduce hotel staff queries during summer travel.
