Respondents appeal from the clerk's taxation of costs and disbursements awarded to appellants.
Respondents contend that the disbursement item of $184.50 for printing of the record should be disallowed in part on the ground that the record contained unnecessary, irrelevant, and immaterial matter. See, Supreme Court Rule VIII(5), (222 Minn. xxxiv). We find that this contention is correct. An examination of the printed record discloses that approximately one-third of its content consists of unnecessary, irrelevant, and immaterial matter in violation of Supreme Court Rule VIII (2), (222 Minn. xxxii), which provides "All matters in the return not necessaryto a full presentation of the questions raised by the appealshall be excluded from the printed record, * * *." By reason of the unnecessary inclusions in the *Page 97 
printed record a deduction of $61.50 in the amount of the disbursements is ordered. This deduction shall be made by allowing appellants the sum of only $123 for the printing of the record.
With the exception of the $61.50 deduction, the clerk's taxation of costs and disbursements is affirmed.
