For the purpose of easier location and designation of properties, either residential or commercial, within the city, a system of house numbers for the city is hereby established.
(A) On all avenues within the city running north from Main Street, the properties shall be allotted numbers beginning with the lowest number nearest Main Street, and in units of 100 numbers to the block, in a regular ascending order, as the avenue progresses northerly. The properties fronting upon the westerly side of any avenue or street shall be given an odd number and the properties fronting upon the easterly side of any avenue, an even number, with due regard being taken for any vacant lots fronting on any avenue. The 100 digit and, in the event it becomes necessary, the 1,000 digit in any number assigned shall correspond with the number of the avenue intersecting the street on which the property is located, immediately south of the property.
(B) On all streets within the city running west from Mantorville Street, the property shall be assigned numbers beginning with the lowest number nearest Mantorville Street, and in units of 100 numbers to the block in a regular ascending order, as the street progresses westerly. The properties fronting upon the southerly side of the street shall be given an even number and the properties fronting upon the north side of any street, an odd number, with due regard being taken for any vacant lots fronting any street. The 100 digit and, in the event it becomes necessary, the 1,000 digit in any number assigned shall correspond with the number of the avenue intersecting the street on which the property is located immediately east of the property.
(C) On all avenues within the city running southerly from Main Street, the properties shall be assigned numbers beginning with the lowest number nearest Main Street, and in units of 100 numbers to the block in a regular ascending order as the avenue progresses southerly. The properties fronting upon the westerly side of the avenue shall be given an odd number and the properties fronting upon the easterly side of any avenue, an even number, with due regard being given for any vacant lots fronting on any such avenue. The 100 digit and, in the event it becomes necessary, the 1,000 digit in any number assigned shall correspond with the number of the street intersecting the avenue on which the property is located immediately north of the property.
(D) On all streets within the city running east from Mantorville Street, the properties shall be assigned numbers beginning with the lowest number nearest Mantorville Street, and in units of 100 numbers per block in a regular ascending order as the street progresses easterly, the properties fronting upon the south side of the street shall be given an even number and the properties fronting upon the north side of the street, an odd number, with due regard being taken for any vacant lots fronting on any street. The 100 digit and, in the event it becomes necessary, the 1,000 digit in any number so assigned shall correspond with the number of the avenue intersecting the street on which the property is located, immediately west of the property.
