Verification of bill of costs.” “Before any bill of costs is taxed, the party claiming any item of cost or disbursement shall attach thereto an affidavit, made by himself or his duly authorized attorney or agent having knowledge of the facts, that such item is correct and has been necessarily incurred in the case and that the services for which fees have been charged were actually and necessarily performed.” See also Section 1920 of Title 28, which reads in part as follows: “A bill of costs shall be filed in the case and, upon allowance, included in the judgment or decree.” The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure contain the following provisions: Rule 54 (d) “Except when express provision therefor is made either in a statute of the United States or in these rules, costs shall be allowed as of course to the prevailing party unless the court otherwise directs, but costs against the United States, its officers, and agencies shall be imposed only to the extent permitted by law. Costs may be taxed by the clerk on one day’s notice. On motion served with 5 days thereafter, the action of the clerk may be reviewed by the court.” Rule 6 (e) “Whenever a party has the right or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a prescribed period after the service of a notice of other paper upon him and the notice or paper is served upon him by mail, 3 days shall be added to the prescribed period.” Rule 58 (In Part) “Entry of the judgment shall not be delayed for the taxing of costs.”
