Addressing the town:

B. Working north to south, even numbers were assigned on the west side and odd numbers to the east side.
C. Special consideration was given to corner lots with the front door of premises establishing address.
D. A provision was made for the possibility of lots being subdivided. Each lot was numbered using every fourth number, thereby leaving an extra even or odd number per lot.
E. Any house with an alley access was given a half number.
F. Lots are numbered in sequence, with respect to stated policy, working out from Main Street.
G. Main and Washington are the dividing lines.
H. House numbers were started with 110 or 111.
