slV1yG HJSTORIC NAMES.

A letter from q correspondent which
we published the other day on the sub
ject Of preserving the name Of Bloom
ingdale Square was filed with valuable
suggestions concerning that and other
historic names Of Manhattan Island,
and, indeed, Of the whole metropolitan
district It is occasionally desirable to
honor some person Of our own day by
giving his or her name TO a park or
street or other Typographical feature.
But this can always be done satisfac-
toriiy without destroying or displacing
any historic name whose retention Is
essential TO the integrity of our geo.
graphic and other annals.
Manhattan Island abounds in local
names, Of great age and of historic sig
nifcance, some Of which are already
half forgotten or misunderstood A cur
rent magazine writer's mention Of Great
Jones street as a typical thOroughfare
Of Greenwich Village may set some
persons to studying the actual bounds
of that historic community. Chelsea is
another name which has become little
more than a name. Yorkville and Car
Evansville are undeservedly obsolete In
some of the other boroughs indeed in
all of them. local names are even more
abundant than in Manhattan, and many
Of them are euphonious and historically
significant Yet they are generally de-
clining in popularity and being dis
carded, presumably because Of a desire
on the part Of the residents TO be direct
~ associated with New York.
This we must regret All dwellers
within the bounds Of the city are emit
tied to the name Of New York. But
they owe a duty 10 the old local names.
to preserve them for the sake Of his
torical Renaissance. An example is set
in London, Paris and other great cities.
From Kensington TO Stepney, and from
Kentish Town 10 Dulwich, all Is Lon
don. Yet iDnumerable local names
within those bounds are cherished as
much as that Of London itself. Ken
sington and Mayfair, and St Johns
Wood and Bermondsey, and Rotherhithe
and Greenwich and the rest, all cling
to their historic names. So do Passy
and Vanguard, and Montmartre and
Belleville, in Paris. Surely New York
should be no less regardful Of her an
cient nomenclature, which IN many cases
is invested with historic suggestion and
not infrequertly with the charm Of ro-
nance
