Council had already "Serving Scugog Township received letters recently from area residents opposed to the hunt. The residents, charging hunters with everything from illegal tres- passing to killing off what's left of the area's wildlife, are to be notified when a decision is to be made about the hunt.

They complained of-bullet holes in barns, signs shot up, flagrant violations of no trespassing areas, and dangers to children and livestock.

Chief Jack Cook of the township's Port Perry fire hall said both buildings had been unoccupied for some time. He described the homes as "extremely small", having only two or . three rooms. The first fire was at 11:30 p.m. on Monday, the second 8:30 a.m., the following morning.
