1. Each surrogate may appoint and at pleasure remove one or more court

reporters for the court, whose compensation shall be determined and paid

in the same manner as salaries of clerks in the court.

2. The court reporter appointed to serve in the surrogate's court may

with approval of the surrogate be designated to perform duties in

another court and the court reporter of another court with approval of

the judge thereof may be designated to serve in the surrogate's court.

The provisions of the judiciary law apply to court reporters in the

3. Whenever the service of a court reporter is required and no regular

court reporter is available, or he is sick, absent or unable to act, or

whenever a trial or hearing requires additional reportorial services, a

an action or proceeding to be paid a reasonable compensation certified

by the surrogate which shall be a charge upon the city or county and

paid as other expense of the court.
