*450FLANIGAN, Judge.
I respectfully dissent. I agree with that portion of the majority opinion which delineates the flaw in the transcript. I do not believe, however, that the appeal should be dismissed. I feel that the defect is correctable by an order of this court entered pursuant to Rule 81.12(c) which provides in part: “The appellate court may, if it seems necessary, order that a supplemental transcript on appeal shall be prepared and filed by either party or by the clerk of the trial court including any additional part of the record, proceedings and evidence . . . ” By dismissing this appeal, this court is requiring the parties to take additional steps in order to relodge the matter here. Some of them could be eliminated and the appeal would be expedited if the problem were dealt with by order rather than by dismissal. See Feigenbaum v. Van Raalte, 356 Mo. 67, 201 S.W.2d 283, 284[1] (1947); Whealen v. St. Louis Soft Ball Ass’n, 356 Mo. 622, 202 S.W.2d 891, 893[2] (1947); Gibson v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 204 S.W.2d 439, 440[2] (Mo.App.1947).
