(C) Numbering. Erections fronting streets from the west and fronting streets from the north shall bear even numbers in their last figure. Erections fronting streets from the east and south shall bear odd numbers in their last figures. Erections fronting streets north and south shall be numbered from the base line, the numbers shall be zero at the base line and not exceeding the number 99 at the end of the first block, 101 at the beginning and not to exceed the number 199 at the end of the second block.

Fractions may be used if necessary to designate a building located in a fractional part of a 25-foot frontage.
