The Goodrich Transit Co dock east of Rush Street Bridge is leased to the city for $5,000 annually without advertised bids. Critics claim the lease undervalues the property, and tax avoidance by the Goodrich fleet is alleged as Chicago presses reform. The piece connects dock profits to broader trust and taxation debates ahead of 1908.
