REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES.

of the Society as CHAIRMAN of the BOARD, and at ons assumed the active management of the Soalety's affairs,
Soon after I was elected PRESIDENT of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was abolished.
One of the first acts of my administration was the employment of Messrs. Price, Watar. house & Company, charters accountants of Great Britain and New York, and Mosers. Baskins & Sells, certified public nécountants of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society, unler directions to render complete and exhaustive reports on the following sub 30c18:

2. The real estate investments of the Com- pany, including in the case of each pared the value of which it is carried upon the books of

It has taken a large force of mea five mouths to ascertain the exact financial status of the
Society, now fully exposed by the balance sheet settled within 24 hours after proof of death Over 3 per cent, of our death claims are transmitted with the following note and repro-is received, and since January 1st, 1995, duced on pages 6 and 7.
through all of the aritation concerning lite insurance, this Society alone has paid out in death claims and benefits of other kinds over G. $116,793 every working day.
Now York, November 25th, 1903. Mr. PAUL MORTON, President,
The Equitable Life Asentance Society of the United States, 120, Droadway, New York.
Assuring you that it will be my constaut DEAR SIR-The exhaustive examination endeavour to conduct the affairs of thie Society which wo have made of the affairs of the Equit-in a manner that will merit your hearty appro able Life Assurance Society of the United States is so far completed, that we are now able to furnish you with Balane Shout showing the true Finsneial Position of the Society on September 2011. 1995.
The Assets of the Bociety as claimed were all found to be on hand, and nimounted in value to G. $416,166,500.10 as shown by the Balanes Shant.
The Sarples ove and above all Liabilities amounted to G $67,142,865.42.
A conservative revaluation of the Assets, including a re-appraisal of all the real estate owned by the Society or corared by mortgages held by the Society, has resulted in a reduction in certain of the values adopted in the Society's lust Annual Report, principally in Real Estate and in Stocks of certain didaucial institutions.

You will be gratified to learn: (1) That all the assets claimed by the Society are on hand, are of a high grade, and are con servatively worth G $4 6,166,500 10.
(2) That, over and above all liabilities, the surplus is G 867,142,865.42, abust seven. eighths of which is a fand for division among aisting deferred divident policies at the end of their accumulation periods.
6) That the reduction in the book value of our assots and surplus in onneed by a revaluation on a conservative basis, and in no way reduces the income of the Society.
The decrease in the value of assets is chiefly in real estate which was carried st prices too high, and in shares of certain financial institu tious which were carried at market prices based on transactions, which were deemed by the as- countants to be excessive,
