Honorable Raymond H. Vogel
Prosecuting Attorney of
     Cape Girardeau County
Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Dear Sir:

     The following opinion is rendered in reply to your
request reading, in part, as follows
               The former Court Reporter for
               the 28th Judicial Circuit made
               certain bills in 1951 for paper
               clips, envelopes for transcripts
               and paper.  Apparently all of these
               supplies were to be used in the pre-
               paration of transcripts for which the
               Reporter is paid according to the
               provisions of Section 495.100 V.A.K.S.
               Is Cape Girardeau County liable to
               pay its proportional share, according
               to population, of these expenses?

     Section 495.100, R8Mo 1949, A.L. 1951, H. B. 255, pro-
vides a definite fee as compensation to a Court Reporter for
preparing a transcript of testimony.  No reference is made in
such statute to any allowance to be made to the Reporter for
actual expense incurred in preparing such transcript.  Sections
485.090 and 485.095, RSMo 1949, A. L. 1951,  I.B 39  are the
only statutes we have discovered which relate speciically  to
allowance to a Court Reporter for money actually expended by
him in carrying out his statutory duties*  Such statutes read
as followst
