Payment of expenses.
In each county with a population of more than two hundred
thousand (200,000) according to the latest Federal Decennial Census,
the chief judge of the district court may, with the concurrence of
the majority of the district judges regularly serving in the county,
authorize the publication of court dockets in a daily newspaper
designated by order of such judges, which newspaper is qualified by
law to publish legal notices. The cost of such service shall be
paid for by the court clerk out of the court fund on a monthly
basis. It shall be computed by multiplying the number of all civil
cases filed during the preceding month, save and except small claims
suits and juvenile, mental health, habeas corpus and paternity
proceedings, by the sum of Three Dollars ($3.00). The amount so
computed shall be paid to the designated newspaper publisher upon a
verified claim presented to the court clerk. The newspaper
designated under the provisions of this act shall publish daily a
docket that shall include jury, nonjury, motion and demurrer,
criminal and civil dockets as well as all such other proceedings of
the district court sitting in the county as the chief judge, with a
concurrence of the majority of the district judges regularly serving
