B.    The base or initial point on all streets running in a northeasterly and southwesterly course shall be a line drawn at right angles to the aforesaid southeasterly boundary line of the city and intersecting the last-mentioned line at a point where it intersects the southern bank of Napa River, and all streets running in a southwesterly direction shall be theoretically projected northeasterly to such base or initial point and shall be numbered as if the same actually ran from such base or initial point, and on all such streets, the odd numbers shall be placed on the westerly side of the street and the even numbers on the easterly side, opposite the next preceding odd number.
