On all streets one number shall be allowed for every 50 feet of ground, whether improved or vacant. In places where one of these 50-foot divisions falls on the property of more than one person, the number pertaining to that 50 feet shall belong to the owner that would be entitled to a smaller or prior number. If this allotment of numbers shall leave any house not provided with a number, that house shall take the half number between its adjacent numbers.
