Skrod v. Martorella

Motion to review disallowance of stenographer’s fees as item of taxable costs, is granted. On review the disallowance is sustained. In the absence of an express stipulation to the contrary, a disbursement for minutes of proceedings before a referee is not taxable (Gallagher v. Baird, 60 App. Div. 29; Miss Susan, Inc., v. Enterprise & Century Undergarment Co., 66 N. Y. S. 2d 266).
