Peremptory writ of mandamus was issued by the Circuit Judge, ordering the Director of the State Beverage Department to revoke a retail liquor package store license issued to respondent, Cliff Baker, on the ground that his place of business is within 300 feet of a school site, in violation of Section 235.22, F. S. 1941, F.S.A. Respondent appeals.
