Achtung! You will pay your light bill NOW!  :-)

They were indeed QUITE the organization.  Lights, gas and transportation. 
Remember the 7 cent transit token?  And the (now called "green") electric 
busses?

I can remember, when I was doing photographic darkroom work, being taken down 
into their basement on  Baronne Street to their MASSIVE photographic darkroom 
and remember seeing 8X10" glass negatives from back in the early teens and 
twenties of countless views of the city and work crews, etc.

Best regards,
Marc
