This is an appeal taken from a judgment for costs. Said costs were taxed and entered against the present appellant by the district court of Salt Lake County after remittitur issued from this court in a former appeal of this case. Big Cottonwood Tanner Ditch Co. v. Shurtliff, 49 Utah, 569, 164 Pac. 856.

On the former appeal costs were awarded May 5, 1937, to the defendants, then appellants, now respondents. Upon filing the remittitur from this court in the district court, the defendants, within thirty days thereafter, proposed and served upon the plaintiff a copy of the memorandum of their costs on the appeal, and delivered to the clerk of the district court the *7original, which was filed in said district court June 2, 1917, in form following:

“Attorney for Plaintiff.”

On November 19, 1917, more than five months after the service on plaintiff and the filing of the memorandum of costs, with' the clerk of the district court, the plaintiff served on the defendants and filed in said court its motion to retax and disallow said costs on the grounds: First, items 1, 3, 4, and 7 are not sufficiently itemized and are excessive; second, all of the cost bill on the grounds that it is not sufficiently itemized and excessive. The motion, when presented to the court December 29, 1917, was denied and order made that judgment be stayed for 10 days. Thereafter the judgment for costs was duly entered, from which the plaintiff appeals.

The plaintiff assigns as errors the refusal of the court to retax and disallow the costs upon the plaintiff’s said application, and the entering of the judgment.

The defendants move this court to dismiss the appeal upon the following grounds:

“ (1) The appeal was not taken within six months from the entry of the judgment or the order appéaled from. (2) That *8said purported appeal is not taken from any judgment rendered or order made by tbe court in the above-entitled cause, or from any judgment or order disclosed by the record before the court. (3) That no good, sufficient, or proper undertaking on appeal was filed within five days after service of the notice of appeal and no deposit of money or cash bond filed within five days after the service of notice of appeal. (4) That the district court had no jurisdiction to hear or pass on the motion of the appellant to retax costs for the reason that the memorandum of costs and disbursements on appeal taxed by Vincent Shurtliff and Mary E. Shurtliff was served on the appellant on June 1, 1917, and was filed with the clerk of the district court on June 2, 1917; that the 'motion to disallow and stx-ike out certain portions of the cost bill was not served and filed until November 19,1917, 5 months and 18 days after the filing of the cost bill. (5) Appellant did not prepare and file an abstract as required by rule 6 of the Supreme Court and as required by law. No proper abstract wfas filed. Said abstract contains no index and does not contain the date or times of the filing of the papers in the court below embodied in the transcript or judgment roll, and does not refer to the page numbers in the transcript on the margin of the abstract as required by rule 6. (6) It appears from the face of the record that the appeal is frivolous, is not in good faith, and is made for the purpose of delay.”

We are of the opinion that this appeal is without merit. It is unnecessary to discuss or pass on all the questions raised by the defendants’ motion to dismiss the appeal.

Comp. Laws 1907, section 3351, in force at the time of the entry of the judgment complained of by plaintiff, 1, 2 provides:

“Whenever costs are awarded to a party by an appellate court, if he claims such costs he must, within thirty days after the remittitur is filed with the clerk below, deliver, to such clerk a memorandum of his costs, verified as prescribed by the preceding section, and thereafter he may have an execution therefor as upon a judgment. The costs to be awarded to a party as provided in this and the preceding sections shall *9include the reasonable cost of printing transcripts and briefs, and the cost of transcribing the stenographer’s notes or minutes of the trial or hearing.”

'Comp. Laws 1907, section 3350, so far as material here, provides :

“* # * A party dissatisfied with the costs claimed may, within five days after-notice of filing of the hill of costs, file a motion to have the same taxed hy the court in which the judgment was rendered, or hy the judge thereof at chambers.” (Italics ours.)

Assuming, without deciding, that the plaintiff’s motion to retax and disallow costs was filed in time, yet there is nothing in the record before us from which we can determine whether or not the several items complained of are incorrect or unreasonable. ¥e will presume, in the absence of anything before us to the contrary, that the affidavit of counsel for defendants is true, namely,'“that the items in the memorandum contained are correct, * * * and that the said disbursements have been necessarily incurred in said action.” We will assume, also, in the absence of a showing to the contrary, that the trial court, in passing on plaintiff’s motion to retax the costs, had before it sufficient evidence to enable it to find that the several items contained in the memorandum were just and reasonable, and that the charges made by the defendants were in compliance with the statutes and the rules of the Supreme Court.

While we think the memorandum is deficient in failing to more specifically state what constitutes the items charged (for example, “Printing abstract, $269.20”), and should have stated the number of pages and the charge per 3 page, yet the failure to do so affords no ground for dis-allowance of the charge. The defendants should have the right to amend their memorandum in that particular, or the court might retax in accordance with the facts found/

For the reasons stated the judgment of the district court is affirmed; defendants to recover costs.
