Alvin LaFargue, vice president of the Calcasieu Sanitation service, made the two proposals. One would provide that the sanitation service would contract with the city for pickup of all garbage and yard trash from all residents within the city limits.

Residents would pay $2 per month, $5.50 for three months, $10.50 for six months, or $20 per year for garbage pickup. These payments would be made to the sanitation service. In turn, the service would pay the city 10 per cent of all gross revenue collected under the contract. All equipment, labor, insurance and disposal dumps would be furnished by the sanitation vice.
