Search 8 U.S.C. § 1355 : US Code - Section 1355: Disposal of privileges at immigrant stations; rentals; retail sale; disposition of receipts

(a) Subject to such conditions and limitations as the Attorney
General shall prescribe, all exclusive privileges of exchanging
money, transporting passengers or baggage, keeping eating houses,
or other like privileges in connection with any United States
immigrant station, shall be disposed of to the lowest responsible
and capable bidder (other than an alien) in accordance with the
provision of section 5 of title 41 and for the use of Government
property in connection with the exercise of such exclusive
privileges a reasonable rental may be charged. The feeding of
aliens, or the furnishing of any other necessary service in
connection with any United States immigrant station, may be
performed by the Service without regard to the foregoing provisions
of this subsection if the Attorney General shall find that it would
be advantageous to the Government in terms of economy and
efficiency. No intoxicating liquors shall be sold at any immigrant
station.
(b) Such articles determined by the Attorney General to be
necessary to the health and welfare of aliens detained at any
immigrant station, when not otherwise readily procurable by such
aliens, may be sold at reasonable prices to such aliens through
Government canteens operated by the Service, under such conditions
and limitations as the Attorney General shall prescribe.
(c) All rentals or other receipts accruing from the disposal of
privileges, and all moneys arising from the sale of articles
through Service-operated canteens, authorized by this section,
shall be covered into the Treasury to the credit of the
appropriation for the enforcement of this subchapter.
