'ature.
“The Nuns will leave Juneau
by plane Friday. Copies of lease,
Territorial inventory and other
lata forwarded via air mail.”
The wire did not state wheth
er the features of the contract
objected to had been changed.
The clauses in question pro
vided:
1. “The medical director...
shall he the sole judge as to the
admissability of patients to said
hospital.”
2. The medical director will
accept, if and when tendered,
appointment as (a) acting assist
ant surgeon of the (J. S. Public
Health service; (b) physician
and surgeon for the Alaska In
dian Service, Department of the
Interior; (c) city health officer
of the Town of Kodiak; (4) re
presentathe of the Territorial
Commissioner of Health.
A spokesman for the board
said it felt both clauses were too
strongly restrictive and so am
biguous as to intent as to indi
cate a possible application to the
detriment of wider medical ser
vice for the community in the
future.
After conferring again yester
day morning the board decided
to refuse to turn the hospital
over unless objections to the
clauses are met, after receiving
legal advice to the opinion that
only the Legislature has the
right to make the hospital con
tract
Officials at Juneau were so ad
vised in a wire sent by the board
yesterday morning. The wire
follows:
‘ Unless objections to lease a3
outlined our wire are deleted will
refuse to turn hospital over to
organization.
‘ Have legal opinion that no
body other than legislature has
right to lease hospital.
“Paragraph 2 & 3 eliminate all
hope medical attention other
than organization doctor and
consider it detrimental to welfare
of the community.
“Furthermore, in view of de
velopments, all help was assured
employment until legislature
meets. Cannot vacate on 3 day's
notice.”
Man Burned
In Freak Mishap
Clyde Galbreath, owner of
the Economy Transfer, was at
home today under doctor’s ord
ers following a freak accident in
which he was burned about the
face and neck in an explosion in
his Ford trite.
He was driving Thursday af
ternoon near the Russian par
sonage when the motor died, ap
parently from a plugged gas
line Galbreath removed the cap
on the gas tank to blow into it
in an effort to clear the line but
just as he bent over the tank an
explosion occurred and flames
shot out, singeing his eyebrows
and the hair as far as the back
of his neck and burning his face.
The freak accident was be
lieved to have been caused by an
accumulation of gas fumes from
spilled gasoline aiound the tank,
probably ignited from a short in
the ienition system. Although
the gas tame was open at the i
time it did not ignite from the'
explosion.
Galbreath received medical
treatment from Dr. A. Holmes
Johnson following the accident.
