New York, December 14th, 1905. "' TO THE POLICY HOLDERS: -
HAD hoped to make some statement to you before this, but I have believed it was best to wait until I could give you a final con clusion in regard to the financial condition of the Society based on full investigation, This explains the delay in communicating with you, On June 9th in, under the condition that ah.uld have fult power as to men and ] meliads, and with no pledges of any kind to any one, I was elected by the Directors of the Society as CHAIRMAN of the BOARD, and at once assumed the active management of the Society' affairs.
Soon after I was elected PRESIDENT of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was abolished.

I rongimulate you and all policyholders in solvent concerns on the reformatory results of the agitation of the past year. This Society alone has undergone four separate investiga tions since snuary 1st.

It has taken a large force of men five months to asceríain the er et financial stains of the Suclery, now fully exposed by the balance sheet transmitted with the following mole and repre- duced on pages 6 and 7:
New York, November 25th, 1975. Mr. PAUL, MORTON, President,
The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, 125, Broadway, New York, DEAR SIR-The exhaustive examination which we have made of the affairs of the Equil able Life Assurance Society of the United Stales is so far completed, that we are now able to furnish you with a Balance Sheet show. ing the true Financial Position of the Society on September 30th, 1905.
The Assets of the Society as claimed were all found to be on hand; and amounted in value to G $410,165,500,10 as shown, by the Balance Sheet,
The Surplus over and above all Liabilities amounted to G 67,142,865 47..
A conservative revaluation of the Assets, in- cluding a re-appmisal of all the real estate owned by the Society or covered by mortgages held by the Society, has resulted in a reduc- tion in certain of the values adopted in the Society's last Annual Report, principally in Real Estate and Stocks of certain financial 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 C $416,166,500, 10:
seven-
(2) That, over and above ali liabilities, the surplus is $57,142,865.4%, about eighths of which is a fund for division ameng existing deferred dividend policies at the end of their accumulation periods,
(3) That the reduction in the book value of our assets and surplus is caused by a revalua tion on a conservative basis, and in no way reduces the income of the Society.
The decrease in the value of assets is chirdy in real estate which was carried at prices to high, and in shares of certain financial institu- tions which were carried at market prices based on transactions, which were deemed by the accountants to be excessive.
RETRENCHMENT,
Economics amounting to G $600,000 00 a year have already been introduced, which if capitalized on a four per cant, basis would be equivalent to an additional investment of over G $15,000,000. This more than covers the marking down of assets. I expect to institute ill further economies of a radical character,
RESTITUTION.
There will be an effort by the new adminis tration to have the biggest camping in the world; the eart will be to make it the best and safest. Conservative lines will be followed. It will be the policy not to solicit or secure new business at the expense of the present policy. holders, and in case it is determined that business in any section of the world is unpro fitable, that field will be abandoned.
Over 48 per cent of our death claims are settled within 24 hours after proof of death is received, and since January 1st, 1905, through all of the agitation concerning life insurance, this Society alone has paid out in death claims and benefits of other kinds over G. $116,799 every working day.
Assuring you that it will be my constant endeavour to conduct the affair of this Society in a manner that will metit your hearty appro bation, Lani,
