Where uncertainty exists with respect to the

A.
The district boundaries, unless otherwise shown, are
the street lines or railroad right-of-way lines, or extensions thereof.

Where the district boundaries are not shown to be
street lines, the boundaries shall be construed to be property lines
or indicated dimensions from street lines.

When a district boundary line passes through a parcel
of land with no indication of distance, the scale of the map shall
determine the location of such line.
