For the purpose of numbering all buildings fronting on streets running east and west, the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad track shall be the base or initial line, and buildings shall be numbered east and west from such track from No. 1 as the initial number, upward in regular gradation, and all that portion of any street which crosses such track and lies on the west thereof shall officially be known and designated for the purpose of this chapter by its original name with the word "West" affixed thereto.

(Prior code § 22.76)

No more than 100 numbers shall be allowed to any one front of any block, and such numbers shall be so arranged that all even numbers along any street running west and east shall be on the south side thereof and all odd numbers shall be on the north side thereof.

(Prior code § 22.78)

The whole numbers in the short blocks shall in all cases alternate or correspond numerically in their order with the required or regular numbers of the long block and shall as near as possible be opposite the same, where opposite blocks are of unequal length.

(Prior code § 22.79)

In case any block, portion of a block or building fronts on any street, portion of street or cul-de-sac, which does not extend to a base or initial line, such block, portion of a block or buildings shall be entitled to the same number as if such street, portion of a street or cul-de-sac extended to the base line and were divided in sections as provided in this chapter.
