DELCON-LONG BAYOU CO., INC., a Florida Corporation, and Allstate Insurance Company, a Foreign Corporation authorized to do business in the State of Florida, Appellants, v. Philip TROW and Irving E. Koltun, d/b/a Clauden Contracting, Appellees.
    No. 76-1034.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    March 4, 1977.
    Rehearing Denied March 30, 1977.
    Michael L. Hastings of Battaglia, Ross & Stolba, St. Petersburg, for appellants.
    Dennis A. Koltun of Koltun & Tobias, Coral Gables, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

We have reviewed the several points raised by both parties, and except as noted below find no reversible error.

Appellees filed a claim of lien against real property owned by Delcon-Long Bayou Co., Inc. Delcon-Long had the lien transferred from the realty to a surety bond pursuant to Section 713.24, Florida Statutes (1975). A judgment for mechanic’s lien was finally entered against Delcon-Long and its surety, Allstate Insurance Company, in the sum of $19,018.40 plus costs of $1,906.14. That portion of the judgment against the surety relating to costs must be reduced to $100 because the bond specified by Section 713.24 is only required to be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the lien and the payment of costs not to exceed $100.

Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, but the case is remanded with directions to reduce the total of the final judgment entered against Allstate Insurance Company by $1,806.14.

McNULTY, Acting C. J., and GRIMES and SCHEB, JJ., concur.
