The judge, either in an original proceeding or on appeal for a violation of R.S. 39:4-50, may tax in the costs a sum not exceeding $20.00, which shall be paid to any physician testifying in the proceeding. This amount, when included in the taxed costs authorized by this chapter, shall be paid as costs are now paid.
