(1969) Specific procedures for notice under the liquor control law supersede the procedures in the general administrative procedure law where a violation of the liquor control law is alleged. State ex rel. Zimmerman v. Moran (Mo.), 439 S.W.2d 503.

(1972) Where the tax commission's findings of fact was a mere statement of the chronology of events that transpired and did not advise the parties or the court of the factual basis upon which the commission reached its conclusion and order, it did not provide basis for review and circuit court's order remanding case for appropriate findings was proper and was not a final appealable order. Iron County v. State Tax Commission (Mo.), 480 S.W.2d 65.
