[We do noh hold ourselves responsible for the | opinions expressed by.our correspondents.] as To the Editor of the Cromwell Argus. J Sir—“ Inquirer” in your last issue invites a.,' solution of what he calls a problem, which may be thus stated : —What gain or loss would accrue to a water company which should firs’j furnish 3. supply of water by means of two four-inch pipei and afterwards by one pipe of eight inches ? 3 The answer is that the company would supply as much water through an eight-inch pipe ae'f).' through three of four inches only. Tt/ie i Uf' company therefore would gain by ono-third/’/*. W 1 the other of course would lose to the sar.i j r .f\d tent. /. dl Let “ Inquirer” trace a circle of e ! ght in ’ | then two of four inches each inside it, at 1 will find a space on both sides of the two c j i M These and the increased pressure or, the * , j ' pipe will be the solution.—l am, &c , /• scstoqi dm
