Plano has been asked to raise $29,488.80 to help build a County Historical Museum. At an organizational meeting last week, Roland Boyd, chairman of a committee established to dig up $95,000 from across the County, told participants they have until July 1 to raise the money or they lose $30,000. U.

N. Clary of Prosper left $30,000 in his estate for the project with the stipulation that it be raised by July 1. McKinney, the proposed site of the first phase of the museum has been asked to foot $57,000 of the bill. Quotas were based on the 1970 census, levied at $1.65 a person. Boyd said the donations can be made with the stipulation that they only be spent for local projects.

That is an attempt to muttle concern that McKinney will dominate the museum. He said donations can be placed in any commercial bank in the county with a letter of instruction that if the $95,000 goal is reached, the title to a certificate of deposit would then go to the Historical Society. Boyd also said that a plaque can be placed in the museum with the name of a deceased person in whose name a donation of $500 or more has been made. Memorial Day VFW Plans Ceremonies ans of.
