EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY
OF THE UNITED STATES.
LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS. FROM, THE PRESIDENT.
NEW YORK, December 14th, 1905. TO THE POLICYHOLDERS:
HAD hoped to make soma 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 Socialy based on fall investigation. This explains the delay in communicating with you. On June 9th lat, under the condition that I should have full power as to man and 'mcitiods, and with no pledges of nay kind to any one, was elected by the Directors of the Society he CHIEMAN of the BOARD, and at o ro sued the active management of the Society's affairs.
Soon after I was elected PRESIDENT of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was
bolished.
One of the first acts of my administral on was the employment of Messrs. Price, Waterhouse & Company, chartered accountants of Great Brit in and New York, and Messrs. Haskins
Sells, certified pulilic accountants of New York, to Investigate the affairs of the Society under directions to sender complete and ex- haustive reports on the following subjects:
The Society's annual expenses, including legal expenses, advertising expenses, agency expenses, and east of securing business,
2. The real estate investiments 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 fur valua on 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, so my approval as to men and terms).
3. The pller investments of the Society; their character; and the circumstances under which they have been made.
4. The Society's surplus and the manner in which it is carried upon the books of the Society,
The methods of keeping the Society's 5. accounts, and the respects in which its account- ing may be improved"
6. The relations between the Sa iety, 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 covred by the report of the Investigating Commutee of which Mr. Frick was Chairman skuld be fully inv stigated.
B. When the report of the New York Super intendent al Insurance has been made that report should be carefully audied and every matter covered by it or by the recommedations of the Commissioner shule be carefully exam. ined.
Subsequently a still mor: elaborate plan of investigation was agreed upon with these, accountants, and doun if any America in- surance company ever before had such an exhaustive.examination.
It has taken a large force of men five months to ascertain the exact financial status of the Society, now fully exposed by the balance sheet

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 Directors, POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
L
It will be the policy of the Society hereafter not to make contributions to political cam- paigns, 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 years this Society has loaned over 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 properly 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 safely 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 reunite their policies. de 1 have pointed
nut
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 admin s iration and securing new, business will be reduced to the lowest possible basis consistent with safety and efficiency. I, accordingly, believe that by continuing your policies in the Equitable you will receive life insurance at the Inwest cost consistent with safety.
I therefore advise you to continue to pay your premiums; to allow your policies to lapse Your con- will be dining yourselves injustice tracts with this Sciety are as safe and sond as anything earthly can be. Where lapses have already occurred the agents of the Society will cheerfully assist in festoring policies.
EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES IN 1905.
I congratulate 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 January 1st. The extraordinary legal and other expensé entailed thereby is amply compensated for by the enforced restitutions and checked waste herem above referred in and hy
the final assurince you now have of the, wealth and solvency of your Seity. I am convince that this and other invations and the resulting stimulation of discussion have attracted public attention to the impregna ble strength of established concerns like, the Equilable 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 demostrated than ever before.
There will be no effort by the new adminis tration to have the biggest company in the world; the effort will be to make it he best and
safest. Conservative lines will be followed. will be the policy not to solicit or secure new business at the expense of the present policy. business in any sertion of the world is unpre- fitable, that field will be abandoned.

New York, November 15th, 1975. Mr. PAUL MORTON, President,
The Equitable Life Assurance Sneiety of the United States, 120, Broadway, New York. DEAR SIX: 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 furaish you with a Balance Sheet show ing the true Financial l'osition of the Society an September 30th, 1905.
The Acts of the Society as claimed were all found to be on hand, and amounted in value to $6,166,500.to as shown by the Balance Sheet.
The Surplus ever and above all Liabilities amounted to G 67,142,865 471,
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 Inst Annual Report, principally in Real Estate and in 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 & $416,166,300.10,
(2) That, over and above all liabilities, the surplus is G 867,142,865.41, about seven. eighths of which is a fund for division among 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 income of the Society. reduces the
The decrease in the value of assets in 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 excessivo,
RETRENCHMENT.
Economies amounting to G $600,000 00 n year, have already been introduced, which if capitalized on a four per cent. 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 still further economics of a radical character.
RESTITUTION,

Under the part 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 records, so that it has been dificult in many Instances to secure explanation of certain tran sactions
which have taken place during the last ten years, some of which involva a financial

Over 98 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.
Asuring you that it will be my constaul endeavour to conduct the affair of this Society in a manner that will merit your hearty appro bation, I am,
