A $54,167 interest-free loan
from the Ontario Develppment
Corporation has assisted in the
-"establishment of a plastic drain
tile industry at Heesall accord-
ing to Provincial Treasurer and
Huron IVIPP Charles MacNaugh-
ton.
The loan, granted under the
province's Equalization' of 'In-
dustrial Opportunity program,
contributes toward the cost of
the $174,500 plant built by the
Big "0" Drain Tile Co. Ltd.
The company started produc-
tion in September and marketed'
over 1,000,000 feet of its pro-
duct before the end of the year.
Principal use 'of the plastic,
tile, which is being produced in
diameters' of up to four inches
and in 250-foot lengths, is farm
drainage in Southwestern On-
tario, where drain tile has been
in short supply. However, the
almost unlimited uses for the
product have prompted en-
quiries from ail across Canada.
