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).
