We find that the BID of W. B. Robb OF
$69i4 for the Gates street school house
to be the lowest. The estimate for this
school house, for which bonds were voted,
was $500, which leaves a credit of Sl556.
''We find that the bid OF W. b. Robb
of $3.50 for the San fedro street school
house is the lowest. The estimate for
this house. for which bonds were voted.
aggregated $4,000. which leaves credit of
$130.
1--WE find that the bid of John Reb.
man of $40, ,7b7 for the Union avenue
school house TO be the lowest. The esti-
mate for this house, for which bonds
were voted. was $4,000, while the estimate
was $500, which leaves on the purchase

tion of these houses amounts to $34, 1856,

The committee recommends that the
contracts for building be awarded to the
lowest bidders. The bid of James Ped
grift to supply the black boards in the
buildings at ~ cents a square foot is the
lowest. but recommend that the bid of G.
+. Webber e. Co., TO furnish the boards at
1S cents the square foot is the best bid.
In the matter Of heating and ventilat-
ing the buildings tho commit recon-
mends that all the bids be rejected. and

WONG WING PROVES AN ALiBi
Wong Chee's Favorite Wife Swears
to II
They Claim That Wing Was In Wong Chee's
House From O'clock to 7. When
He Was Arrested

The expected ali bl was sprung in the
Wong Wing murder case yesterday. and
SO mild was the sensation that not even
the defense felt constrained to feel en-
thusiastic. and the otherwise thrilling
court room scene was passed by unno-
ticed. The prisoner is charged, in con-
junction with convicted Wong Chuey and
Wong Chez, with the murder of Lou
Sney last February. The evidence thus
far has been the same as that on which
Wong Chuey was sent to San Quentin for
life.
The object OF interest in the proceed
ings was Wong Chees favorite wife. who
was called to establish Wings wherea-
bouts at the time Suey was assassinated.
She was very accurate in her statements,
and gravely informed the jury that Wong
Wing went to Chee's house at 4 p. M.
met Chez as Chez went out to supper,
and renamed indoors until the police
rushed in and arrested him as he lay
smoking his pipe after dinner. Just be-
fore his arrest Suey had been shot. She
was present all the time.
The prosecution attaches no signii-
cance to the alleged alibi, pointing out
that Chuey had the same story, and that
no jury could believe what they style
"sucn ridiculous story Besides. the
prosecution already claims a preponder-
ance of evidence.

has vowed a ] ng and hard penance In
