HALLEY, J.
(dissenting). The majority opinion dismisses this case on the grounds it is moot. I am forced to dissent. This was an action filed by the county attorney of Jackson county to enjoin the operation of a beer tavern. This relief was granted by the district judge on the evidence before him, and Robert Weekly appealed to this court. Later his license to operate the tavern was revoked for certain infractions of the law which were not considered in the injunction suit. Weekly’s license to operate the tavern may be renewed, and the questions involved in the injunction action will remain unanswered if we dismiss the appeal as moot.
*578I think that whether or not the operation of the beer tavern in the instant case should be enjoined is a matter of such public concern that we should determine it.
I dissent.
