Intimations. EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY
OF THE UNITED STATES,
LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS FROM THE, PRESIDENT.
NEW YORK, December 14th, 1905€ TO THE POLICY (OLDERS!
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. Oa Jure gih las, under the condition that I should have full power as to men and methods, and, with no pledges of any kind to any one, I was elected by the Directors of the Society CHAIRMAN of Ìho BOARD, and at o. re assumed the active management of the Society'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, Waterhouse & Company, chartered accountants of Great Britain and New York, and Messrs, Haskins & Sells, certified public accountants of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society. under directions in render complete and ex- haustive reports on the following subjects:
1. The Society's annual expenses, including legal expenses, advertising expenses, agency expenses, and cost of securing business.
3. The real estats investments of the Com. pany, including in the case of each parcel the value at which it is carried, upon the books of the Sqciety; the income which it yields; and the fair valuation of the property, whether above or below the value at which it is carried upon the books of the Society. (I necessary, real estate experts may be employed in as certaining the value and income of the real estate, subject, of course, to my approval as to men and terms).
3. The other investments of the Society; their character; and the circumstances under which they have been made.
...4. The Society's surplas and the manner in which it is carried upon the books of the Society.
5. The methods of keeping the Society's
·Recounts, and the respects in which its account. ing may be improved
6. The relations between the So lely and the trust companies, banks, safe deposit companies, and other institutions with which the Society is affiliated by ownership of cars derable Amount of sinck or otherwise. (In the case of every corporation in which the Society has a dominant or important interest, or with, which the Society has special relations, the owner ship of stock other than that owned by the Society should be ascertained so far as practi cable),
The s bjects c vol by the report of the 7. Investigating Committee of which Mr. Frick Chairman should be fully inv stigated.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16 1906.
Intimations.
ANNUAL AUDIT.
It will be the policy of the new administra on of the Society to insist on an independent audit of its accounts as to its fiscal condition, once each year, the result of which will be published.
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORA,
Under the change in ownerinip of a majority of the stock, the shares were at once put in
trust; and Directors are now nominated by the TrusteesHon. Grover Cleveland, Justice' Mor- gan J. O'Brien, and Mr. George Westinghouse. Thirteen Directors are chosen annually, and the Trustees will each year offer an oppor tunity to the policyholders to express their pre- ferences in respect of the choice of Directore.
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
It will be the policy of the Society hereafter not to make contributions to political cam. paigos. It is my opinion that we have no right to use the funds of the Society. for any such purpose.
REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES,
In the last ten yeare this Society has loaned over G $120,000,000 on real estate mortgages, mostly in Jarge cities. Only is six of these cases has it had to take property under fore closure and in these six instances the property was sold so as to net a profit. It will continue to be the policy of the Society to make invest inents of this description.
..
COST OF INSURANCE,
The very essence of life insurance is salcıy and this can be secured only by reasonable premiums.
A great many Equitable policyholders are doubtless asking themselves the question whether it will pay them to continue their policies. To such I wish to say most emphati- cally that my investigation of the affairs of the Society has convinced me that there is no cheaper way for the policyholders, of the Equitable to have sound life insurance than by retaining their policies, As I have pointed out, the surplus of over G. $67,000,000, are. safely invested upon a basis which returns an excellent rate of interest upon the revised valuations, and I expect in due time to accom- plish such economies that the cost of admins iration and securing new business will be reduced to the lowest possible basis consistent with safety and efficiency. 1, accordingly, believe that by continuing your policies in the Equitable you will receive life insurance at the lowest cost consistent with sifoty.
I therefore advise you to continue to pay your prom-ums; to allow your policies to lapse will be doing yours Ives injustice Your con- tracts with this Society are as safe and sound Where lapses as anything earth can be. have already occurred the agents of the Society will cheerfully assist in restoring policies

New York, November 15th, 1915. Mr. PAUL MORTON, President,
The Equitable Life. Assurance Society of the United States, 120, Broadway, New York. DEAR SIR:-The exhaustive examination, which we have mide of the affairs of the Equil able Life Assurance Society of the United States is so far completed, that we are now able to furnish you with a Balance Sheet show- ing the trus 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 $16,164,500.10 as shown by the Balance Sheet,
The Surplus over and above ait Liabilities amounted to C 67,43,865 4'
ever before.
Over 96 per cent. of our death' claims are setiled 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 ther 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 merit your hearty appro bation, I am,
Very truly yours,

You will be gratified to learn:
(1) That all theatres claimed by the Society are on hand, are of a high grade, und ure con servatively worth G $416,166,500.00,
(2) That, over and above all liabilities, the surplus is G 867,14,865.4%, about seven- eighths of which is arland for division among existing deferred dividend policies at the aud of their accumulation periods.
(3) That the reduction, in the book value of our assets and surplus is caused by a sevalua tion on a conservative basis, and in no way reducer the income of the Society,
The decrease in the value of assets is chi-fly in real estate which was carried at prices too high, and in whares of certain financial institu- tions which. warn carried market prices based on transactions, which were deemed by the accountants to be excessive.
RETRENCHMENT.
Economies amounting to G $600,000.00 a year have already been introduced, which if capitalized on a four per crot, 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 Bill further economies of a radical character.
