The odd numbers shall apply to the north and west sides of the streets, and the even numbers shall apply to the south and east sides of the streets. On all streets running in an easterly and westerly direction the numbering shall commence with No. 1 at Illinois Street, and shall increase east and west at the rate of 100 numbers for each block as nearly as the varying series of streets will admit of, thus Second, Eleventh, Church, Walnut and Abend Streets and their continuations north and south shall be rectified lines of uniformity in numbering east and west. On all streets running in a northerly and southerly direction, the numbering shall commence at Main Street and increase in these directions at the rate of 100 numbers for each block as nearly as the varying series of streets will admit, thus “C”, Scheel, Garfield, McKinley, Van Buren Streets and their connection easterly and westerly direction, shall be rectified lines of uniformity in numbering in a northerly and southerly direction. The general rule shall be that 100 numbers shall represent each block going east and west from Illinois Street and north and south from Main Street.
