whose behalf the appeal is brought, or upon the party’s own motion,

the Administrator shall cause complete stenographic notes to be

taken of the proceeding before the Commission. If requested by the

appealing party, the cost of taking and transcribing such notes

shall be borne by the said appealing party. If such notes are taken

upon the motion of the Administrator, the cost shall be borne by the

Department. The Commission or a majority thereof shall make such

order as is deemed proper, just, and equitable within sixty (60)

prescribed by law and by rules of the reviewing court, subject to
