The numbers heretofore assigned to lots or houses, except as hereinafter provided, shall remain the numbers of such lots or houses respectively until otherwise changed by Council. All buildings in the City shall be numbered as follows:
Fifty numbers shall be assigned to each linear block. Beginning at the east corporate limits of the City, the first block shall be designated the 400 block and the numbers assigned to it shall be between 400 and 499 inclusive. In like manner, each successive block from east to west shall be designated by a block number and assigned numbers. Commencing at Ash Street and running south, the first block shall be designated the 100 block and assigned numbers between 100 and 199 inclusive. In like manner, each successive block shall be designated and assigned numbers. All blocks shall be numbered consecutively. In numbering, only full blocks shall be given fifty numbers; blocks approximately double the ordinary frontage shall be given double the amount of numbers ordinarily assigned, and across all undivided tracts of land intervening between portions laid out into blocks the lines of streets shall be considered to cross in regular continuation of streets in additions adjoining. While fifty numbers are allotted to each block, the division of numbers to the frontage thereof shall be one number to each eleven feet, or such other aliquot part of a lot or block frontage as is, in the judgment of the City Manager, most advisable, it being intended thereby to preserve as nearly as possible a general conformity in numbering throughout the City. In all cases of mistake or conflict in name or numbers, or where some special arrangement is necessary in consequence of irregularity of streets or avenues, or want of uniformity in the size of blocks, the City Manager shall direct and make the proper adjustments in accordance with the spirit and intention of this chapter.
In numbering of lots, houses or places of business, beginning at the north end of all avenues and numbering southward, the even numbers shall be placed on the west side thereof and the odd numbers on the east side thereof. On all streets, beginning at the east end thereof and numbering westward, the even numbers shall be placed on the north side thereof and the odd numbers on the south side thereof.
