The claims of this county will be heard by the commission here this week, along with the claims of 27 other counties when the commission, of which State Senator Carl L. Bailey, is chairman, convenes here Thursday and Friday. One of the contentions contained in an affidavit which is part of the ■brief filed by one of three eastern counties seeking very large refunds for highways built with county money which they now want refunded, is that Chairman Page assured this county that if it would turn over this money to the highway commission as a “donation” he would later see that it would be repaid just as if it were made in the form of a loan. The af fidavit is from a former member of the county highway commission when Mr. Page was chairman of the State Commission. Refuted byi Record.
