The intention of this chapter is to apply retroactively and include
existing lots and buildings, as well as those created after the effective
date of this chapter.
All buildings, including residences and lots of land established within
the township, shall be subject to being numbered for proper identification,
especially for reasons of expedience in fire, police and medical emergencies.
The Township Assessor is hereby authorized to file in his office maps
of the lots of land established within the township and designate thereon
system of numbering such lots for proper identification. The Assessor is further
authorized to assign numbers to buildings erected upon such lots for proper
identification. As standards for such designation and assignment, the Assessor
shall give due regard to the need for a logical and uniform sequence of assignment
along the streets and roads of the township to obtain better identification
and convenience for location. Generally, numbering of a street shall begin
at its intersection with a more major street and shall be numbered from "1"
on the left and "2" on the right.
A person who shall refuse, fail or neglect to comply with any provisions
of this chapter shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $50 upon conviction
in the Municipal Court.
