Second City South Reno Plan Draws Opposition
Reno officials were surprised as resort owner Jack Arian proposed incorporating a new South Reno municipality. The plan seeks court approval of a petition from at least 51 percent of property holders between Hash Lane and Pleasant Valley on U S Highway 39. Some major landowners oppose the idea, though Arian argues separate status would fund needed expansion with a strip of casinos, stores and shopping centers.

Lake Mead sediment probe planned to assess silt life
A hydrographic survey begins next month to measure sediment buildup in Lake Mead above Boulder Dam. Sen. Howard Cannon says this first study in 14 years could extend Lake Mead's life by Glen Canyon Dam's upstream storage. He notes Lake Powell will trap about 75 percent of incoming sediment, varying annual input from 24 to 270 million tons.
