Corona citizens push for early federal building in Riverside
A Corona group gathered at the chamber of commerce to urge the industrial committee to work with the county and Republican committee to press Washington for an early Corona federal building before the March 1932 post office lease expires. Postmaster Johnson said Congress recently passed a 363 million dollar federal building appropriation and that Corona could secure a 100 thousand dollar site and building, with site selection and construction to be handled by the treasury department over the next eight years.
