RIPON ASKS FOR S75,OOO.Oo
Petition Declares Money Once Re
fused Was Not Converted to Use
Requested by Citizens.

Ripon-The city of Ripon, through
Mayor Thayer and the Ripon CONNER
cial club, wants congress to know that
this city expects to receive the $75,OQO
once appropriated for federal build
ing here and later relinquished, or to
have it used as Ripon asked.
Representatives in congress are to
be petitioned in protest against the &C
ton of congress in returning Ripon's
$4,000 to the national treasury. At
the time this city refused the money
for federal building, it was supposed
to be understood that this sum was to
be diverted from its original purpose
only to help swell the national defense
fund.
The Riponites who signed this petit
ton asked congress preferably to give
this sum to the aviation service. The
money was not used for the defense
fund, and Ripon wants a federal
building. So resolutions have been
adopted protesting against public
statement made on the floor of the
house by member thereof to the eff
feet that the people of Ripon had
shown that they needed no public
building"
