All houses fronting on the several streets of
the City of Bradford shall be numbered according to the following
system:
A. For the purposes of this system, the center of the
City shall be considered as at the intersection of Main and Mechanic
Streets. These streets and the prolongation thereof shall be considered
as a system of rectangular coordinates running east and west and north
and south. From these streets and their prolongations as the axes
of the system, all other streets shall be numbered in the direction
of the City limits. House No. 1 shall be at the end of the street
nearest the axes, even numbers on the right and odd numbers on the
left going from the axes. In any case where this rule will not apply,
rectangular axes shall run north and south nearest the center of population,
and the houses shall be numbered from there in the direction of the
City limits. Should any street cross the prolongation of the main
axes in any direction, it shall be numbered east and west or north
and south, as the case may be, from a prominent cross street nearest
the main axes. Every 25 feet or fraction thereof shall constitute
one number.
[Amended 6-11-1974 by Ord. No. 2914; at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. I)]
Address numbers must be displayed as required by the Uniform Construction Code and maintained as required by Chapter
163 of this Code.
[Amended 6-11-1974 by Ord. No. 2914]
Any person desiring to know the number belonging
to his property may obtain the same by applying therefor to the City
Engineer, furnishing the distance and direction from the nearest street
and also the side of the street on which the premises are situated,
and the City Engineer, upon such application, shall furnish such information
free of charge.
Hereto attached, made a part of this chapter
and marked Exhibit A is a list of the various streets of the City
of Bradford, giving the direction in which the numbers should run,
according to the system provided for in this chapter.
[Added at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. I)]

and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more
