The proceedings at any hearing, may if the Commission so desire, or any party in interest so request, be taken down in shorthand by a duly qualified and sworn shorthand reporter. A transcript of the proceedings thus reported shall be furnished to any party in interest so requesting. When a request for reporting or a transcript is made, the party making the request shall be liable for the cost thereof and shall give to the Commission security for such costs before the case is reported or the transcript is made, as the case may be.
