Under Sec. 18-361 & Sec. 18-363 of the Lampasas, Texas, Code of Ordinances

"It shall be the duty of the owner and the occupant of every house, building and structure within the city to have a house number placed thereon that is conspicuous and readily visible from the public right-of-way on which the structure fronts or faces."

 1. Numbers or letters shall be a minimum of three inches in height and shall consist of durable  

     material which will not tarnish, corrode or deteriorate unreasonably.

2. Numbers shall sufficiently contrast with the background on which they are placed so as to be

    readily visible from the public right-of-way on which the structure fronts or faces.

3. Peel-off or adhesive backed numbers and numbers painted on the curb shall not meet the
