submitted 74 years ago by ch. 477 to r/title-8-ALIENS-AND-NATIONALITY · 255 words · no verdicts yet
Exclusive services at immigrant stations generally go to the lowest responsible and capable non-alien bidder. The Service may provide necessary services itself, may sell certain health-related items, and must send receipts to Treasury.
(a) Subject to Attorney General* conditions, exclusive privileges such as money exchange, passenger or baggage transport, eating houses, and similar immigrant*-station services must be awarded to the lowest responsible and capable bidder who is not an alien*, under 41 U.S.C. 6101. Government property used for them may carry reasonable rent. The Service* may feed aliens or provide another necessary station service without these rules if the Attorney General finds that economy and efficiency benefit the Government. Intoxicating liquor may not be sold at an immigrant station. (b) Items the Attorney General finds necessary for detained aliens' health and welfare, when not readily available otherwise, may be sold to them at reasonable prices through Service Government canteens under prescribed conditions. (c) Rent and other receipts from these privileges and money from canteen sales must be paid into Treasury and credited to the appropriation for enforcing this subchapter.
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 6101 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.
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.
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.
