The commission also unanimously approved zoning that could allow future development of a condominiums and casinos on 187-acre acres in Sparks between Interstate 80 and Prater Way, along side the proposed Tahoe-Pyra-mid link. Although developers had no actual casino development proposal, the zone change won an endorsement from Sparks Planning Director Alex Fit-tinghoff.

"The City of Sparks is interested in the development of a growth management plan along Sparks Boulevard," he said. "That's the only site that lends itself to large scale development large enough for an MGM Grand or perhaps a Meadowood regional shopping center" Fittinghoff predicted that the interchange between the Tahoe-Pyramid link and 1-80 could become one of the biggest and most important interchanges in the Truckee Meadows. A major face-lift of the River Inn resort casino west of Reno won a unanimous recommendation of approval Tuesday night by the Regional Planning Commission. Developers, seeking to overcome some of the sewer woes that had pla-i gued River Inn owners in the past, are. planning to renovate the spa facilities at the resort, rebuild the casino lodge and motel rooms and construct a special tertiary treatment facility and a leach field for the River Inn sewer system.

A lack of adequate sewer facilities was one of the major factors in the resort's bankruptcy last year, according to developers. The remodeled resort would open sometime after January, 1980, according to spokesmen. "Everybody, at one time or the other, has been out to the River Inn," said attorney Ariel Basse. "We want to take care of the buildings in a way that does justice to the River Inn and does justice to the river."

10-6, Sun. 12-5 CARSON CITY (AP) A surprise investigation has turned up no apparent evidence of unfair treat-' ment of the many illegal aliens and others working as field hands around Winnemucca, Labor Commissioner Rich McNeel said Tuesday. McNeel said he dispatched two investigators to the Winnemucca area to conduct a hearing Monday in a wage dispute Involving a farm worker, but at the same time the investigators looked into working conditions in general. Winnemucca has developed into a major potato-' growing and packing area in the past 10 years. There is also a big food processing plant run by the R.T.

French Co. And there's also pressure to unionize field workers. "There are a lot of illegal aliens and everyone in the community seems to be pretty well aware of it," McNeel said. "They're working in the fields, in the processing plant, in the casinos and hotels." "But our investigation shows that they seem to be getting proper wages and proper overtime pay, and people in general don't seem to be too concerned about them," McNeel added. The labor chief said his office has no jurisdiction over illegal aliens, except when state labor laws may be violated.

He said the laws cover aliens as well as U.S. citizens working in Nevada. McNeel said it would be up to federal authorities to check up on employment of illegal aliens and "quite honestly the feds don't seem to be all that concerned about it." Additional spot checks of employment conditions are planned later, McNeel said, adding that he wanted to make sure child labor laws aren't being violated. He also said there had been a report of social security cards being sold to aliens so that they could avoid detection, but he has been unable to turn up any hard evidence of such activity. McNeel said books of various employers in the Winnemucca area are routinely checked and it appears "no one's playing with the books and proper wages are being paid" in most cases.

In the case of the worker who complained and got a hearing, McNeel said back wages owed the man are being paid as a result of the session. He also said aliens have been "taking jobs nobody else wants," such as jobs washing dishes or cleaning off tables in casinos and restaurants, Even though the workers are holding down menial jobs, there are reports of some friction. For one thing, local Winnemucca youths have trouble finding part-time or summer jobs. There have also been reports of some problems with living conditions of the workers. The Winnemucca area has also been the site of some union organizing activity among the farm workers.

Incline bar president picked INCLINE VILLAGE Don Gilfillan was elected president of the Incline Village Bar Association during its formative meeting at the Lake Tahoe community this week. Gilfillan is the first attorney to have established practice in Incline Village, where he has maintained an office since 1967. Other new officers are Ed Barnett, vice president; Jim Mancuso, secretary; and John Shadek, treasurer. Elected to the first board of governors were Gilfillan, Barnett and Washoe County Commissioner Ben-nie Ferrari. Gilfillan said the association hopes to provide improved legal services to the North Lake Tahoe area, obtain an arrangement to have a Washoe County district judge visit Incline Village monthly to hear uncontested matters, and to establish a small claims court at the community.
