919.02 SYSTEM OF NUMBERING.

   The order of numbering buildings, houses and residences shall be as follows: For such purpose it shall be deemed that all streets radiate east and west from Main Street and north and south from Park Avenue; all streets shall be deemed to run north which run more nearly north than east or west; all streets shall be deemed to run south which more nearly run south than east or west; all streets shall be deemed to run east which run more nearly east than north or south, and all streets shall be deemed to run west which run more nearly west than north or south. The beginning point for placing numbers for any street or avenue shall be in direct reference to its termination or its nearest point of proximity to the streets and avenues named in the provisions of this section and thence continuing towards the corporate limits of the City. The numbers in each and every instance shall alternate, placing the odd numbers on the left and the even numbers on the right; the same order to be observed on the streets and avenues running east and west of Main Street as on streets or avenues running north or south of Park Avenue. The starting point for numbering any irregular street shall be that terminus nearest the starting points on streets or avenues regularly laid out and considered as thoroughfares, and those streets and avenues specially provided for in this section and dividing the corporate area of such City into four distinct sections. One whole number shall be allowed to every twenty feet of ground, whether improved or vacant, provided that any house or tenement with a less number of feet frontage shall receive a whole number.
