TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS
In the Port Washington Zeitung from March 10th, an editorial was published relatingto the appeal cases of Dr. SMITH, Dr. QUINLAN and Walter ZASTROW.

The editor of the Port Washington Zeitung intimates that the member of the southerntown, is always ready to disallow all bills presented, only for the reason to makehimself known and seeking the favor of his townsmen, and such other insinuations,which, I suppose he would not have published if the member of the southern town wasa subscriber of his paper.

In a correspondence from a taxpayer in Thiensville published in the Zeitung two weekslater, it is stated that those appeal cases cost the county $200-300 etc.

I presume the editor of the Zeitung and the unknown taxpayer from Thiensville intendedto call the attention of the people to the fact that I was the cause, that $20 weredisallowed on each of bill No. 75 and 76, as presented by Dr. SMITH and Dr. QUINLAN,for their attendance at an inquest held over the body of the late J. R. BOHAN.

I acknowledge that I have voted for said disallowance, together with every othermember of the county board. I thought five dollars was a fair compensation for goinga half mile, and merely looking at a man who was instantly killed by a railroad trainand say, “Yes, the man is dead.” I, and every other member of the county board thoughtat the same time, that one physician was enough to find that out! If this is sucha great wrong in the mind of the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung and the unknowntaxpayer from Thiensville, I then nevertheless hereby acknowledge that I do not feelsorry for having done so.

Sometime before the correspondence from the taxpayer in Thiensville was publishedin the Port Washington Zeitung some of my friends informed me that the “young lawyer”in Thiensville was very busy in telling everybody that I run the county in heavycosts and expense, and therefore “our taxes were so awful high.” I have good reasonto believe that the unknown taxpayer and the “young lawyer” is one and the same person-- and if this person deemed himself fit to criticize my actions as a member of thecounty board, he ought to say a little more, he ought to say for instance: that Iwas also the cause that the county realized about $82 from a man in Thiensville forrent on real estate belonging to an insane person, who has been supported by thecounty for about ten years. I should think that Thiensville is not such a mightybig place, that such a thing could happen there without it coming to the knowledgeof the “lawyer” and “taxpayer”. Well yes, it is just so as the “taxpayer” statedin his correspondence -- “Der Bauer muh bezahlen!” -- and even in this case the “Bauer”had to pay!

I have done more such things during the time I was a member of the county board,which the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung and the taxpayer from Thiensvilleconsider to be great wrongs and as I now retire from office they may console themselvesand I might have time to repent -- if I should feel like doing so. -- THIENSVILLE,April 4, 1887 - Wm. F. JAHN

P.S. After I had written the above, I was informed by a reader of the Port WashingtonZeitung that the Editor thereof also stated that I was the cause that a special meetingof the County Board was called last fall; that said meeting was unnecessary, andthat it was called merely for the purpose of making unnecessary expenses.

Indeed, said Editor in all his rage and fury seemed to be very careless in his writingeditorials, and totally ignored the law which provides how special meetings of theCounty Board are to be called.

I will only state that said special meeting was not called according to law; thatI was not present at said special meeting on that account, and that I received noneof such unnecessary expenses.

In order to inform the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung will the NEWS statethe facts in the case? -- Wm. F. JAHN
