City Authorities Consider
Christenson Health Case
A special meeting of the Coun
cil, Public Health Officers, Mayor
and City Attorney was held last
evening to try and solve the prob
lem of Jim Christenson, baker for
the North Pole Bakery, who was
found to be a diphtheria carrier
several months ago by the Health
Department.
He made a trip to Anchorage in
order to obtain a clean bill of
health, at his own expense, and
has lost several months work and
seeks compensation. As the case
is unusual, there were found to be
no funds available to relieve the
situation. The Health Depart
ment’s Dr. Scorebrand has urged
the city to try and assist Mr.
Christenson and after several
hours discussion the Council and
local health officers decided to
appeal to the Governor and Public
Welfare Department to see if they
could aid in the compensation of
this man.
After returning from Anchorage
Mr. Christenson again developed
a positive throat and is at present
not working. He has been given
some penicillin treatments which
have proven successful, and as
soon as he has had another test
will no doubt be allowed to return
to work.
