Orders concerning transcription of records
Sec. 1. When the supreme court or a majority of the justices of the
supreme court consider it necessary to have all or part of the records
of the court transcribed to protect those records from mutilation or
decay arising from any cause, the court or justices shall order the
clerk of the supreme court to transcribe the records in suitable books
to be procured by the clerk for that purpose. The court shall make a
reasonable allowance for the transcription to the clerk in an amount
that the court considers just and proper. The allowance, when
certified by a justice of the court, shall be audited by the auditor of
state and paid as similar allowances in other cases.
