Section 6-8-65

Costs of publication - Affidavit that no agreement exists between officer and publisher, etc., and that sum charged is lowest.

All agreements between any officer charged with the duty of advertising legal notices in a newspaper and the printer, publisher, or manager of such paper whereby any advantage, gain or profit is to accrue to such officer are void; and before the charge for such advertisement can be demanded or received, the officer and the printer, publisher, or manager must each make and file an affidavit that no such agreement exists. The printer, publisher, or manager must, in addition, make affidavit that the sum charged is the actual lowest regular price for such advertisement.
