On June 9th las, under the condition that I should have full power to men and methods, and with no pledges of any kind to any one, I was elected by the Directors of the Society a V-MAN of the BOARD, and at once assumail the active management of l'e Society' affaire,
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, conified public accountants of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society. under' directions to render complete and ex- haustive reports on the following subjects:
1. The Society's annual expenses, including legal expenses, advertising expenses, agency expenses, and cast of securing business.
2. The real estate investments of the Com- pany, including in the case of each parcel the value at which it is carried upon the books of the Society;
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. (If 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 3. The other investments of the Society; their character; and the circumstances under which

5: The methods of keeping the Society's Accounts, and the respects in which its account- ing may be improved.
6. The relations between the So isty and the trust companies, banks, safe deposit companies, and other institutions with which the Society is affiliated by ownership of considerable amount of stack 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).
7-The subjects covered by the repart of the Investigating Committee of which Mr. Frick was Chairman should be fully investigated.
8. When the report of the New York Super intendent of Insurance has been made that report should be carefully studiel and every matter covered by it' ar by the recommendations of the Commissioner should be carefully exam- ined.
Subsequently a still more elaborate plan of investigation was agreed upon with these accountants, and I doubt if any American in- surance company ever before had such an exhaustive examination.
such purpose.
REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES.
In the last ten years this Society has loaned nver G $120,000,000 on real estate mortgages, mostly in large cities. Only in 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 ments of this description,
COST OF INSURANCE.
The very essence of life insurance is safety and this can be secured only by reasonable premiums.
A great many Equitable policyholders are dubiless sking themselves the question whether it will pay them to continue their plcies. To such I wish to say test emphati cally that my investigation of the rffairs of the is no Society has convinced me that there cheaper way for the policyholders of the Fquitable to have sound life insurance than by As I have pointed resuining their policies. out, the surplus of over G. $57,000,000, are safely invested upon a basis which returns an excellent rate of interest upon the revised valuations, and 1 expert in due time to accom plish such economies that the cost of admins- ration 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 ill receive life insurance at the lowest cost consistent with safety.
Your con.
I therefore advise you to continue to pay your premiums; to allow your policies to lapse will be doing yourselves injustice tracts with this Sciety are as safe and sound Where lapses as anything earthi can be. have already occurred the agents of the Society will cheerfully assist in restoring policies.
EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES IN 1905.
I congratulate you and all policyholders in solvent concerns on the reformatory results of This Society, the agitation of the past year. alone has undergone four separate investiga tions since January 1st. The extraordinary legal and other expense entailed thereby is amply compensated for by the enforced restitutions and checked waste herein above referred to and by the final assurance you now have of the wealth ad solvency of your city, 1 am convinced that this and other investigations and the resulting stimulation of di cussion have attracted public attention to the impregn; ble strength of established concerns like the Equitable more effectually than could have been done by any other means. While these investigations may have been destructive of individual reputations, the utility of life in- surance has been more fully demonstrated that ever before.
There will be no effort by the new adminis. tration to have the biggest comp ay in the world; the effort will be to make it 'he best and rnfest, Conservative lines will be followed. It will be the policy not to solicit or secure new business at the expense of the present policy-

New York, November 25th, 1905. 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 made of the affairs of the Equit 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. log the true Financial Position of the Society on September 30th, 1905.
The Assels of the Society as claimed were all found to be on hand, and amounted in value to G $16,165,500,10 as shown by the- Balance Sheel.
The Surplus over and above all Liabilities amounted to G 67,147,865,4*.
A conservative revaluation of the Assets, in- cluding a re-appraisal 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 in Stocks of certain financial Institutions.

Chartered Accountants by A. Lowes DICKISON, F.CA, C.P.A.
(Signed) ABKINS & SELLS,

by ELIJAH W. S
1. SELLS, C.P.A.
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 415,166,500.10.
(a) That, over and above all liabilities, the surplus G 867,742,855.4's about seven- eighths of which is a fund for division among existing deferred dividend policies at the end of their accumulation
perioda. (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 chiefly In real estate which was carried at prices too 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.
Economies amounting to G $600,000.00 2 year have already been introduced, which if capitalized on a four per cent. batis 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 still further economies of a radical character.
RESTITUTION,
Under the past management transactions lavolving the expenditure of large sums of money have been carried through frequently without any proper authority of the Board of Directors and with very meagre bookkeeping,
basiness in any section of the world is unpro 6table, that field will be abandoned.
Over 98 per cent of our death claims are setled within 24 hours after proof of death is received, and since January 1st; 1905, through all of the agitation concelning 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 merit your hearty appro- bation, I am,
Very truly yours,
