ON SECOND MOTION FOR REHEARING
By our judgment pursuant to what was written on first Motion for Rehearing we taxed all costs of appeal against Zuider Zee Oyster Bar, Inc. The costs of appeal are substantial.
*300In Zuider Zee’s Second Motion for Rehearing it was pointed out that this court has reversed the trial court’s judgment insofar as it awards excessive interest and that pursuant to our November 16, 1973 judgment has nevertheless charged it with the costs of appeal whereby it obtained reversal; that though it has won its case in part and accomplished the reduction of the award of the trial court’s judgment by the deletion of the improper amount of interest pursuant to the remitti-tur consequently made (propriety of the amount of remittitur not contested), it is nevertheless taxed with the costs incurred in the accomplishment.
We have concluded that Zuider Zee is correct and that it would be unfair to tax all the costs of appeal against it.
It is therefore ordered by the court that the costs of appeal be retaxed, and the clerk is instructed to this day enter an order in accord, so that 80% of the costs of appeal are taxed against Zuider Zee Oyster Bar, Inc., and 20% of the costs of appeal are taxed against Bill G. Martin.
