women and children of the city
In 1911 by Octavius Bacon, onel
time Confederate soldier and
U. S. senator.
Recently Georgia courts al
lowed the city to resign as trus
tee In favor of private manag
ers on grounds that the park
could not remain segregated
under city operation.
Speaking for a six-man ma
jority Monday, Justice William
O. Douglas said that the park
has been an Integral part of
Macon’s activity and cannot be
removed from “the public to
the private sector” merely by
a shift in trustees.
He said this conclusion Is but
tressed by the “public function”
which a park performs.
This last bit of reasoning a
roused doubt In Justices John
M. Harlan and Potter Stewart.
They suggested that the reas
oning might be applied to other
activities having some type of
public function, and bring such
activities as private schools or
libraries or garbage collection
under federal scrutiny.
