New Workers are considerably exer-
cised over the lack of a suitable term
to distinguish persons living in the city
proper from those living within the city
limits, but in some of the many out
skirts of the New York Of last year. OF
course, the resident of Tottenville, Col
lege Point or, Canarsie is now Just as
much New Yorker as the man who
lives on Fifth Avenue but what shall
be used to distinguish the inhabitant of
the borough of Manhattan from these
other inhabitants of the vast new city?
OF course, the people Of Brooklyn are
all right, as they will still remain
Brooklynites "Manhattaner' and MAN
hattanite" have been suggested for
their neighbors across the East river,
but these fall no more trippingly from
the tongue than ''Bronxite" and Queen
site" for the dwellers in the other coun-
ties. "Richmondite" is impossible,
and will probably survive.
Doubtless the new names will event.
ually discover themselves, as usage and
shall dictate. If vox populi
were as uniformly vox Del as is some
times supposed, no one would need to
waste any worry ON the matter, any
how.
