The church will have 12- toilets and will require water for maintain- ing the landscaping. "fin afraid we'll be accused of tak- ing water a half mile out of town -when we don't have enough for our own purposes," added Turkhcim. Reeve Bob Fisher wasn't con vinced Zurich had enough of a water shortage to deny water to one church. - -•What's the difference between a house -and a. church?" asked Fisher. • - Turkhcini suggested the reason the church has not accepted the Rest home's offer of well water is due to - a personality confliet.between the people involved. 'If they've got -a conflict then .let thelia work it out," said councillor Paul Morrison. • Council will urge the Mennonite Church to take a closer look at the . Rest home's offer• and will meet soon to decide what action should be taken on the issue. - Rau Broth3rs Construction has. -.won the contract to replace the roofs on both .the. municipal build- ing and its garage. .
