Streets and Numbers.
By the decimal system of numbering, one hundred numbers being awar- ded to each square, any person can easily determine the exact location of any given number. Market street is the dividing line for those streets running north and south ; those above Market street are called North, as North Sec- ond ; those below Market are called South, as South Third, etc. The odd numbers are on the east side, and even numbers on the west. Thus, No. 226 N. Second would be on the west side of the street, between Race and Vine. No. 227 S. Second on the east side of the street, between Walnut and Spruce. No. 226 Chestnut is between Second and Third, and so on. Streets running east and west have the even numbers on the south side and odd numbers on the north side. The following are the names of the streets running parallel to Market street, north and south thereof. Persons unacquainted with the city should, at the outset, become familiar with the system of numbering the houses.
Names of Streets North and South of Market Street.
