In a proceeding for a license to sell intoxicating liquors at retail, appellant, in the notice of his application, described the “precise location of the premises” where he proposed to do business as follows:
“In a room fronting on Main street of a building situated at the corner of Main and Sixth streets, on part of lot sixty-seven in the original plat of the town of Petersburg, Indiana, and which part of said lot on which said building is situated is more particularly described as follows, to wit: Commencing at the east corner of said lot sixty-seven at the intersection of Main and Sixth streets of said town, and running thence southwest with Main street twenty-three feet, thence northwest parallel with Sixth street seventy feet, thence northeast parallel with Main street twenty-three feet to Sixth street, thence southeast with Sixth street, seventy feet to the place of beginning. ’ ’
Appellees’ motion to dismiss the application, because the “precise location,” whereon appellant desired to make such sales was insufficiently described, was sustained. Judgment of dismissal entered, and the applicant appeals.
The judgment is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded with, instructions to overrule the motion to dismiss the proceeding, and for further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion.
