ump and trough put in at the curb. It was called the Hyde well from being in front of the estate of James Hyde, the grocer, and was commonly supposed to have been a private well. It was located near the building now numbered 56, about where a telephone pole is standing. 1 July, 1811, the selectmen voted To have a new pump placed in the Town's well on the South side of the river near the house of Timo Symmes and a good trough fixed to the same. 5 August, 1811, they voted To pass Samuel Townsend's acct. for a pump in the well opposite the Hotel.

Beyond South street on Main street there was a well on the premises of Nathan Wait, where now stands the Police Station; one on the estate of Capt. John Sparrell, whose house is still standing, numbered 101, and another across the street in the yard of the Medford House. Sixty years a
