Members of the local WPA crew who are working on a storm sewer at the upper end of Prospect street dug deeper into the city's history this morning than they ever thought they could, when, during the process of excauating for a manhOle. they discovered a we'll in the middle of the street.
 If Foreman Fred Haddon said, "Well. well, well," he certainly would have been justified, for he knew that the original sewer laid on upper Prospect street was completed more than 50 years ago. That. according to his estimate, made the we'll pretty old.
 A further check on the records of the city's water sup ply disclosed the fact that in I849 J. c. Booth and ID. F. Maltby opened a spring at the upper end of Prospect street. There is no definite location cation given in connection with the we'll. but it is quite probable that the one discovered by the WPA workers this morning was the one referred to in the his tory of Waterbury.
 The foreman explained today that the men dug down about two feet below the surface of Prospect street. just above the corner of Prospect and Hillside avenue, and came upon two large stone slabs. Underneath these was we'll 22. feet deep and filled with some seventeen feet of water. The water was
