Upon the written request of the winning party and upon two days’ notice, from him to the adverse party, the costs shall be taxed by the secretary of the section whose decision may be appealed from within seven days to the member of the Board who presided over the hearing. The appeal shall be taken by a written notice to the secretary.

Witnesses, advocates, stenographers, stenotypists and persons recording and transcribing the depositions shall have a recourse for their taxed costs against the party who retains their services as well as against the other party, if the latter is condemned to pay such costs. The former shall have a right of subrogation against the latter.

Subject to section 53, if the complaint involves a real estate value of less than $250,000 or a rental value of less than $25,000, the only costs to which the complainant may be condemned pursuant to the first paragraph are those of stenography, stenotyping or the recording of the depositions and their transcription, if any.
