With reference to the recent discussion about companies leasing land adjacent to the track for elevators, etc. I found the following in Railway World 1907 which may explain the historical position.

 

Burlington Abolishes Special Favors—Shippers will no longer be permitted to occupy any of the Burlington road's property without paying adequate rental. A circular to this effect has been issued by Daniel Willard, second vice president of the company. Enforcement of the new rule will add considerably to the revenue of the road.

 

It appears that the Burlington, the same as other roads, has been lax regarding the use of property along its right of way, and in the smaller terminals. In many cases shippers have been permitted to erect buildings upon the company's real estate and pay only a small rental. In not a few instances this privilege was accorded to shippers in order to induce them to locate along the road. It is stated that in cases where this has been done the industry established has grown to be a flourishing one, and that there no longer is any reason why the road should not receive an adequate return.

 

The effect also will be to prevent any possible charge of favoritism by permitting one shipper to use the property of the company for a nominal rental, while another pays the full market value.
